Transportation
Kalanchak railway station is located in Myrne. It is on the railway which used to connect Kherson with Dzhankoi; however, after the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, the trains only run as far as Vadim, close to the border with Crimea. There is infrequent passenger traffic.
The settlement has access to Highway M17, which runs northwest to Kherson and southeast to the border with Crimea.
