The longest trolleybus line in Crimea. Crimea trolleybus schedule. Timetable for trolleybuses Simferopol-Alushta and Simferopol-Yalta

Friends, hello everyone!

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

Yes, yes, the Simferopol Yalta trolleybus will take you along the most picturesque and longest road. But to find out won't the bars fall off right at the Angarsk Pass? and whether the day will end before you get to the place I suggest in this article.

About all the ways to evacuate quickly from Simferopol airport I told in . Today I will indicate the schedule, prices and location of trolleybus stations.

The trolleybus line project in 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 trolleybus line Simferopol-Alushta took place in November 1959, and Simferopol-Yalta in June 1961.

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, Kyiv, 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. During the same period, until January 2017, the trolleybus fleet was updated; new, modern and comfortable trolleybuses, more than 60 of them, arrived.

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

What do we have today

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

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

Therefore, today you can go on a trolleybus trip to Yalta or Alushta only from the station in Simferopol - the Kurortnoye bus station. To my questions what? Yes, when? The Crimean trolleybus management is still treacherously silent.

Trolleybuses traveling along the intercity route are low-floor, spacious, with good panoramic visibility and tinted windows. The salon has a warning 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 2018 summer season. Follow the changes in 2019 on the official website of Crimea trolleybus crimeatroll.ru

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

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

You will spend a little over an hour on the way. The cost of travel to Alushta from the station in the city of Simferopol is 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 ran 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 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 route sheet. It's time to turn to the program “Looking for You” or ask the audience for help. If someone, somewhere, once rode trolleybus 54 or 55 this year, don’t 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 on this moment We have only one option: manually get from the New Airport to the Kurortnoye AS by trolleybus 17 or bus 49/49a and join the passengers in trolleybus 51 or 52.

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

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

The trolleybus makes many stops along the way, which affects the duration of the route. But this is convenience, since many tourists or local residents they 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), in the villages of Zarechnoye, Lozovoye, Pionerskoye.

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

Conquerors of Dimerdzhi need to get to Angarsk pass , stop Luchistoye – departure point in .

Before Alushta, two more stops await you - in the villages Upper and Lower Kutuzovka . Next comes the Kiparisnoye stop. Pushkino will be needed by those who are going on vacation in Sanatorium "Utes" . To whom in Artek – get off at the stop of the same name.

Yalta awaits you ahead!

It must be said that there will be about 40 stops along the way, at small villages and hamlets and at the closest points towards sanatoriums or attractions.

Here is the complete trolleybus traffic diagram:

Is it worth it or not to take a trolleybus?

As always, there are positive and negative sides to every situation, and now we will look at which ones.

Pros:

the most affordable type of transport;
in the cabin it does not “chatter” or “throw” around corners, as in minibuses;
travel time flies quickly, as outside the window there are colorful landscapes– grape fields, orchards, Mountain peaks, endless sea. Many people simply love to ride this route - it’s like being on an excursion!

Minuses:

trolleybuses did not reach the New Airport. You will have to go with a transfer in Simferopol.
After a flight, and even in the heat, the road may seem too tiring. Then there is no time for landscapes and beauty;
not all trolleybus routes in Crimea are equipped the latest transport. Although their number is minimal today.

For comparison: a bus ticket to Yalta costs about 300 rubles, comfortable bus transport from Fly&Bus the next one 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 should definitely try it once, and suddenly you will absolutely love it, just like me!”

Dear friends, I remind you that subscribe to my blog and you can receive the latest articles right now. Also I'm waiting in the comments reviews from those, who took a ride on a trolleybus and wants to please everyone with his impressions.

Our group is waiting for you

Crimea was and remains one of the most picturesque corners of the post-Soviet space. Thanks to the trolleybus, residents and guests of the peninsula have the opportunity not only to travel between two cities, but also to inexpensively get to Alushta, Gurzuf and others settlements Yalta highway. The 86-kilometer-long path pierces like an arrow mountainous areas, ending on the most beautiful Black Sea coast. The journey from Simferopol airport to the beauty of the resort Yalta will take about 2.5 hours.

History of the line

First project transport communication between the cities appeared back in the 30s of the last century, when the Soviet leadership decided to build here railway. Heavy natural conditions, constant landslides and the unsuitability of some areas for construction led to the curtailment of the project. In return, in 1958 it was proposed to equip a unique intercity trolleybus line. Thanks to the incessant work of the workers of Soviet Ukraine, the section from Simferopol to Alushta was put into operation within a year, and the remaining 33-kilometer section to Yalta was opened in July 1961.

The route's peak popularity occurred in the 70s and 80s, when during the holiday season the interval between trolleybuses did not exceed two minutes. The line's management at that time cooperated with the railway - vacationers, along with a train ticket, often received a ticket for a trolleybus to the coast.

What to see along the route?

The most beautiful plain, mountain and sea landscapes open from the windows of the vehicle. A few kilometers from the border of Simferopol there is an artificial reservoir on the Salgir River.

Traveling to the coast, travelers:

On one side of the train they will observe the ribbon of the Black Sea coast;
On the other are the peaks of the Crimean Mountains.

The route passes through the famous vineyards of the peninsula, which are picturesquely located near the mountain spurs.

Tourists can see Mount South Demerdzhi (1239 m) and weathered rocks, which received the mystical name Valley of Ghosts. Noteworthy is the “head of Catherine” - a massive block that vaguely resembles the profile of a woman’s face. The trolleybus slowly climbs up to the Angarsky Pass (752 m), where the tourist routes to Northern Demerdzhi and the Chatyr-Daga plateau. Those who want to go to the Marble and Red caves go to the Perevalnoye stop.

In addition, the path runs around:

Winery in Massandra;
Nikitsky Botanical Garden.

How long will the journey take?

Trolleybuses usually run at intervals of 18 to 35 minutes. Travel time from Simferopol to Alushta is about 1.5 hours, and to the beauty of Yalta you will have to spend another 60 minutes. In total, there are about 40 stops along the way.

Fare

The ticket price may change and it is better to find out the current cost on the Crimea Trolleybus website. In any case, the trolleybus line connecting Simferopol and Yalta remains the most in an accessible way delivering tourists to the coast.

As of 2016, ticket price:

From the Airport to Alushta is 85 rubles;
To Yalta – 129 rubles;
The fare from the Simferopol railway station is 70 and 114 rubles, respectively.

Other Features

It is worth familiarizing yourself with the transport schedule in advance - service intervals vary greatly depending on the time of year.

One of the attractions of Crimea that receives insufficient attention is the unique trolleybus system, which includes the longest trolleybus route in the world. The length of the route from Simferopol airport to Yalta is 96 kilometers.
