Trolleybus in Crimea between cities route. The most non-trivial way to leave Simferopol airport is by trolley bus. Intercity routes of the Crimean trolleybus

The system of urban and intercity electric transport on the Crimean peninsula - the Crimean trolley bus - has existed since 1959. The routes of the Crimean trolleybuses run along the picturesque South Coast, linking a number of settlements. Along the way, there are sights of Crimea. Since Soviet times, independent tourists have appreciated the advantages of such a budgetary way of moving around the Crimea.

The Crimean trolleybus connects Simferopol with Alushta, Gurzuf, Yalta. In some directions, trolleybuses with autonomous running follow. The Crimean trolleybus fleet is striking in the presence of simply rare models. There are really not new, very not new trolleybuses. Rather, this is the legacy of the Ukrainian authorities, it’s just that the money was not allocated enough. But nevertheless, the "old men" still drive. I don't know if it's possible to see this somewhere else?

The length of the intercity trolleybus route in Crimea is 84 km, from the airport - 96 km.

City trolleybuses of Crimea

In the cities of Crimea, there are separate trolleybus parks: in Simferopol, in Alushta and in Yalta.

Trolleybuses of Simferopol

The trolleybus network in Simferopol is the most extensive in the Crimea. Routes move through the city center, past the railway station, airport and to the nearest villages.

• in the northern part it reaches the Zagorodny microdistrict, stops “Ul. Glinka" and "Freedom" (behind the bypass road);
• in the southeastern part it connects the bus station, the university, Maryino, Pionerskoye;
• in the south-western direction, the final stops are Novo-Romanovka, 7th Gorbolnitsa.

The suburban route is considered to be route No. 21 (Railway station and Perevalnoye) and No. 23 (Svoboda - Perevalnoye).

Main flights within the city:

• No. 4 (7th City Hospital - Maryino),
• No. 6 (Maryino - Main Post Office),

Unfortunately, traffic on some routes in the cities of Crimea may be suspended, and it is far from always possible to find out about this on the Krymtrolleybus website.

I would like to write more about trolleybus Simferopol-Yalta. The route of this trolleybus is unique and the longest in the world (86 kilometers!) and connects Simferopol with the cities of the southern coast of Crimea. This is a very convenient way to move around the Crimea, I recommend checking it out!

UPD: trolleybus routes, timetables and prices are relevant for 2019 (updated)

He wrote about how to get cheaply to Simferopol and Crimea from Russian cities in a separate article:

There is an option to get this distance by taxi - about 1900 rubles will cost you a car, so if you are traveling with a company, this is a great option! You can order a taxi Simferopol-Yalta online in advance from home at

Even in the pre-war years, it was planned to build a railway to Yalta, but due to the presence of many landslide sections along the sea, it was decided to curtail plans for the construction of the railway and send forces to build an intercity mountain trolleybus line. As a result, already in 1961, a connection was opened between the railway station of Simferopol and Yalta, which still functions to this day.

At the moment, there are 3 intercity routes of the Crimean trolleybus + aeroexpress:

• No. 51 Simferopol railway station - Alushta
• №52 Simferopol railway station - Yalta
• №53 Alushta - Yalta
• №20 Simferopol airport - railway station (aeroexpress)

This is how the Simferopol-Yalta trolleybus route and stops look like

From Simferopol, the trolleybus departs from the Railway Station and arrives respectively at the stations in Alushta and Yalta. Both new trolleybuses with air conditioning, TV, large viewing windows, and old ones function. We got a new one, so the impressions were the most pleasant!

Travel time:

Simferopol - Alushta - 1 hour 30 minutes

Simferopol - Yalta - 2 hours 30 minutes

Timetable for trolleybuses Simferopol-Alushta and Simferopol-Yalta:

The final stop in Simferopol is located at the railway station!

Friends, hello everyone!

Do you know that you have the opportunity to cut the Crimean peninsula in half on a trolleybus route and enjoy unforgettable views from your window for next to nothing?

Yes, yes, the Simferopol Yalta trolley bus will take you along the most picturesque and longest road. And here's to find out will the rods fly off exactly on the Angarsk pass and whether the day will end before you get to the place I propose in this article.

I talked about all the ways to hastily evacuate from Simferopol Airport in. Today I will indicate the schedule, prices and location of trolleybus stations.

The project of a trolleybus line in the Crimea had to be developed to replace the failed construction of the railway. No, they started laying tracks even before the Second World War, and then after, but dangerous landslide areas did not allow this idea to be realized.

In 1958, a plan was developed to create an intercity trolleybus line, which was successfully implemented. The opening of the Simferopol-Alushta trolleybus line took place in November 1959, and Simferopol-Yalta in June 1961.

An interesting fact: in the 70-80s, trolleybuses to Yalta and Alushta ran at intervals of 2 minutes, and tickets could be purchased at the railway ticket offices of Leningrad, Moscow, Kiev, Riga, Vilnius, Kharkov.

During the crisis, in the 90s, the trolleybus service almost ceased to exist, but everything worked out!

In 2014, trolleybus routes from Simferopol Airport to Yalta and Alushta were resumed. In the same period, until January 2017, the trolleybus fleet was updated, new, modern and comfortable trolleybuses arrived, more than 60 pieces.

On April 16, 2018, after the launch of the Crimean Wave airport in Simferopol, city trolleybus routes 17 and 20 (during the season) were extended to a new public transport stop at the airport. I wrote more about the new traffic intersection at the airport at.

What do we have today

Transportation is carried out by the intercity network of the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Krymtrolleybus". The length of the Simferopol-Yalta route is 84 km, from the new airport terminal it will be almost 100 km.

Why will it be? Because so far there are no flights from the New Airport, since the final part of the route has not yet been electrified. And launching autonomous trains over long distances, apparently, is not advisable.

Therefore, today you can go on a trolleybus trip to Yalta or Alushta only from the station of the city of Simferopol - the bus station "Kurortnoye". What to my questions? Yes, when? The leadership of the Crimean trolleybus is still treacherously silent.

Trolleybuses following the intercity route are low-floor, spacious, with a good panoramic view and tinted windows. The cabin has a public address system, TV and air conditioning.

From Simferopol to Yalta and Alushta

The trolleybus station is opposite bus station "Kurortnaya" At the stop "Train Station" . You will see bus ticket offices, across the road (pedestrian crossing) there will be trolleybus ticket offices and the station itself.

All schedules in the article are taken for the summer season of 2018. Follow the changes in 2019 on the official website of Krymtrolleybus crimearoll.ru

Simferopol-Yalta route No. 52

The interval between flights is 20-40 minutes. The first flight departs at 5.00, the last one at 21.50. Only 42 flights per day.

The route passes through Alushta. So, you can safely jump into the Yalta direction trolleybus and get off at Alushta, Partenit, Gurzuf and even Nikita.

Travel time is about 2.5 hours, maybe a little more. Fares for February 2019 – 184 rubles . By the way, they charge another 20 rubles for luggage.

In Yalta, you will arrive at the trolleybus station, which is located 2 km from the city center and next to the central bus station.

Simferopol-Alushta route No. 51

The first flight to Alushta leaves a little later than Yalta, at 6.10. But the interval between flights is only 15-30 minutes. Last departure at 21.35.

In total, 36 flights to Alushta are carried out per day! In addition, please note that all trolleybuses going to Yalta pass through the bus station in Alushta. And this is an additional 42 flights! So there can be no problems getting from Simferopol to Alushta.

You will spend a little over an hour on the way. The fare to Alushta from the station in the city of Simferopol - 115 rubles.

The final station is the trolleybus park, located next to and 200 meters from the embankment.

From the airport to Yalta and Alushta

Previously, trolleybus routes 54 and 55 went from the old airport to Yalta and Alushta, respectively. At the beginning of 2019, I am not aware of such routes.

On the site crimeatroll.ru/raspisanie-yalta there is a mention of 3 flights to Simferopol airport. But, most likely, they only go to the old terminal.

In any case, they are not on the itinerary. It's time to contact the program "Looking for you" or for help to the audience. If someone, somewhere, once rode a trolleybus 54 or 55 this year, do not hide and let me know. Thanks in advance for your help.

As soon as the information becomes clear, I will immediately update the article.

And at the moment we have only one option: to manually get from the New Airport to AS "Kurortnoye" by trolleybus 17 or bus 49/49a and sit down with the passengers in trolleybus 51 or 52.

In general, if you get confused with routes anywhere in Crimea, then here is a site to help wikiroutes.info/simferopol?routes=10323 . I use it myself!

Where else can you get on the Simferopol-Yalta route?

On the way, the trolleybus makes many stops, which affects the duration of the route in time. But this is the convenience, since many tourists or locals go not only to Yalta or Alushta. I'll tell you about the main ones.

So, the trolleybus makes stops: in Maryino (a suburb of Simferopol), villages - Zarechnoye, Lozovoye, Pioneer.

If you decide to go to, your stop is Perevalnoe, and if you are interested in hiking hiking in Chatyr-Dag or , then get off at the Sosnovka stop.

The conquerors of Dimerdzhi need to get to Angarsk pass , stop Luchistoe - starting point at .

Two more stops await you before Alushta - in the villages Upper and Lower Kutuzovka . Next is the Kiparisnoe stop. Pushkino will be needed by those who are going to rest in sanatorium "Utes" . To whom in Artek - get off at the stop of the same name.

Yalta is waiting for you!

I must say that in total there will be about 40 stops on the way, at small villages and villages and the nearest points in the direction of sanatoriums or sights.

Here is the full scheme of trolleybus traffic:

Is it worth it or not to go by trolley bus?

As always, in every situation there are positive and negative sides, and now we will consider which ones.

Pros:

• the most budgetary mode of transport;
• in the cabin it does not “talk” and does not “throw” on turns, as in fixed-route taxis;
• travel time flies by quickly, as colorful landscapes appear outside the window - vineyards, orchards, mountain peaks, the endless sea. Many people just love to ride this route - as if they were on an excursion!

Minuses:

• trolleybuses did not reach the New Airport. We'll have to go with a change in Simferopol.
• after the flight, and even in the heat, the road may seem too tiring. Then there is no time for landscapes and beauties;
• not all trolleybus routes in Crimea are equipped with the latest vehicles. Although their number is currently minimal.

For comparison: a bus ticket to Yalta costs about 300 rubles, comfortable bus transport from Fly&Bus the next from Simferopol airport will cost from 500-600 rubles, a taxi or transfer - from 1400-2200 rubles.

Good to know

As one madam wrote in her review of the Crimean trolleybuses, “you must try it once, and suddenly you will like it madly, like me!”.

Dear friends, I remind you that subscribe to my blog and receive fresh articles you can right now. Also I look forward to the comments of those who took a ride on a trolleybus and wants to please everyone with their impressions.

Our group is waiting for you

The Crimean trolleybus is one of the main reasons that prompted me to take an express trip to the Crimea. Due to the absence of any significant investment in infrastructure since Soviet times, the unique trolleybus network has retained a Soviet face. This applies not only to the trolleybuses themselves, but also to stops, pavilions and infrastructure.

1. Trolleybuses Škoda 9Tr No. 5511 and No. 5608 in Yalta. Such trolleybuses still make up a significant part of the fleet in Yalta and Alushta.

The Crimean trolleybus is nonsense, which should have been either closed or overhauled. But something in between happened, and I was able to ride on the same trolleybuses as during my previous trip to the Crimea in 1987.

Crimean trolleybus is an intercity trolleybus system linking Simferopol with Alushta and Yalta. The system also includes lines of urban and suburban routes in Simferopol, Alushta and Yalta. The route from the airport to Yalta is the longest trolleybus route in the world - 96 km. The Sevastopol trolleybus network is considered independent and is not part of the Crimean trolleybus.

3. Trolleybus station in Alushta. Trolleybuses Bogdan T70110 No. 8300 and Škoda 9Tr No. 7013.

Initially, they planned to build a railway, but the project was simply not pulled. There were 2 options: one from Bakhchisaray with a tunnel passage through the mountains to Yalta, and the second from Sevastopol along the seashore to Yalta and further from Yalta to Alushta. Before the Great Patriotic War, work was begun on laying the tracks, after it they returned to the project, but it was not possible to resume work, because in the area of ​​​​the village of Opolznevoye there was a shift in the soil, and the laying of tracks became impossible. Options for transferring the project from the landslide area were considered, but research work was carried out, according to which it was decided to abandon the project, since many landslide areas were identified.

The movement of trolleybuses on the first intercity section Simferopol - Alushta was opened in November 1959.

4. Škoda 9Tr with tail number 1508. Built in 1974. It is not currently involved in regular passenger traffic. The final stop is "Working Corner", Alushta.

In the 70-80s, during the holiday season, the intervals of movement of trolleybuses on the Simferopol-Alushta highway averaged 2 minutes. During these years, tickets for trolleybuses to Alushta and Yalta were sold together with railway tickets to Simferopol at the railway ticket offices of large cities of the USSR: Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Kharkov, Riga and Vilnius.

6. Škoda 14Tr with tail number 8200, route No. 2, Alushta.

Then the dashing 90s began and passenger traffic gradually began to fall . There is no talk of any development of the network went on, worked on the line trolleybuses delivered in 1960-1990. IN In 2009, the Krymtrolleybus enterprise was declared bankrupt, and it was on the verge of closing. Many routes were closed.

7. Škoda 14Tr No. 810, Škoda 9Tr 774, Škoda 15Tr 7012. Trolleybus station, Alushta.

The turning point was 2010. New trolleybuses Bogdan T60/T70/T80 began to arrive, new routes began to open. In favor of trolleybuses, most of the fixed-route taxis were removed from the center of Simferopol. The cars delivered during this period still form the basis of the Krymtrolleybus fleet.

At the beginning of 2014, Crimea was annexed to the Russian Federation (Anexia to Krim Russia) and there was a feeling that the Crimean trolleybus would never be the same as before. But contrary to expectations, in 2014-2016 the trolleybus network did not receive any new impetus in development, and minibuses returned to the center of Simferopol again. After the well-known events, 5 trolleybuses from different cities of Russia were transferred to the Crimea. It could not be called a planned delivery, rather a spontaneous political decision. Normal deliveries began only in 2016. In 6 months, 14 SVARZ-MAZ-6275 low-floor trolleybuses were delivered.

11. Trolleybus station in Yalta. Trolleybuses Škoda 14Tr.

According to the site transphoto.ru, now “ Crimeatrolleybus» works on the lines 183 cars. Of these, 72 were delivered back in the Soviet period, from 1974 to 1990 year. This is 39.4% of the entire park. The oldest working trolleybus is now 42 years old! Of the trolleybuses purchased between 1990 and 2014, 94 are now in operation.(51.4%) cars. Of those purchased from 2014 to 2016, 17 are working(9.2%) machines.

Below is the complete list:

12. Škoda 14Tr No. 6103, intercity route 52 Yalta - Simferopol. Škoda 14Tr No. 6003, route 41 Yalta - Krasnokamenka. Trolleybus station in Yalta.

Of course, the trolleybus network has long lost its infrastructural significance. The percentage of passengers transported by trolleybuses has become so low that it is no longer possible to speak of any environmental effect. In the days of the USSR, there was no talk of personal vehicles, the question was decided on what to carry - buses or trolleybuses. And then the choice was made in favor of the latter.

13. Škoda 9Tr No. 5608 follows route No. 1 Trolleybus station - st. Krasnoarmeyskaya, Yalta.

14bis: Trolleybuses in Yalta.

If you can somehow put up with traffic jams, then it is more difficult to do it with the environmental component. The beaches in Alushta now smell not of the sea, but of car exhaust. It is impossible to talk about any tourism industry with such an approach. And what are the traffic jams at the entrances to the beaches? Yes, there is anarchy. Well, okay, this is the topic of the next post.

14. Škoda 9Tr in the Yalta trolleybus park, route No. 3 Massandra - st. Krasnoarmeyskaya.

Another important problem of trolleybuses is that they use the same roads for transportation as cars with buses. Due to outdated infrastructure, trolleybuses are forced to greatly reduce speed on three-lane sections of the serpentine and block the movement of other vehicles. Paradoxically, the modernization of the trolleybus system must begin with the expansion of roads. After that, you can upgrade the contact network and trolleybus arrows. Modern technologies make it possible to increase the speed of trolleybuses up to 90 km/h.

Trolleybuses on the intercity route "Simferopol - Alushta - Yalta" in the Crimea in five years due to the reconstruction of contact networks will be able to reach speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour. This was announced on the sidelines of the Crimean Transport Forum by Andrey Bezsalov, Minister of Transport of the Republic, TASS informs.

Today, a trolleybus on the Simferopol-Yalta highway is a big problem, it annoys all the drivers who follow it, - Andrey Bezsalov, Minister of Transport of the Republic, said on the sidelines of the Crimean Transport Forum. - We expect to reconstruct contact networks and reach the average speed of trolleybuses up to 90 kilometers per hour, design solutions that are used for electric trains will be applied there.

According to him, the reconstruction of networks is planned within five years, TASS reports. Also, from his words it became clear that he treats the trolleybus not as a modern and attractive form of transport, but as part of the social infrastructure for low-income Crimeans. That, IMHO, is a completely wrong approach.

Modernization requires not only the infrastructure, but the trolleybuses themselves require replacement. And not just replacements for modern trolleybuses, but replacements for trolleybuses specially designed and built for intercity lines of the Crimea. First of all, they should have an air-conditioned cabin with special luggage racks and chairs designed for long trips.

20. Boarding the trolley bus route 53 Yalta - Alugta. Bogdan T70115 No. 8401.

It also makes sense to think about the reconstruction of intercity trolleybus stations. These should be air-conditioned rooms with good visibility, adequate seating and access directly to the doors of the trolleybus. A good example is the Flygbussarna cityterminalen bus station in Stockholm. There, buses drive up to the terminal on a door-to-door basis.
