Trolleybus schedule and routes in Crimea. The most non-trivial way to leave Simferopol airport on trolleybus 52 trolleybus Alushta Yalta schedule

The Crimean trolleybus is one of the main reasons that prompted me to take an express trip to Crimea. Due to the lack of any significant investments in infrastructure since Soviet times, the unique trolleybus network has retained its 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 either been closed or thoroughly modernized. But something in between happened, and I was able to ride on the same trolleybuses as during my previous trip to 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 simply did not go ahead. There were 2 options: one from Bakhchisarai through 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 began on laying tracks, after which 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 soil shift, and laying tracks became impossible. Options for moving the project away from the landslide area were considered, but research work was carried out and it was decided to abandon the project, since many landslide areas had been identified.

Trolleybus traffic 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 transportation. The final stop is “Working Corner”, Alushta.

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

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

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

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

The year 2010 was a turning point. New Bogdan T60/T70/T80 trolleybuses began to arrive, and new routes began to open. In favor of trolleybuses, most minibuses were removed from the center of Simferopol. The vehicles delivered during this period still form the basis of the Crimean Trolleybus fleet.

At the beginning of 2014, Crimea was annexed to the Russian Federation (Annexation of Crimea to Russia) and the feeling began to develop 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 for development, and minibuses returned to the center of Simferopol again. After the well-known events, 5 trolleybuses were transferred to Crimea from different cities of Russia. This could not be called a planned delivery, rather a spontaneous political decision. Normal deliveries began only in 2016. In 6 months, 14 low-floor trolleybuses SVARZ-MAZ-6275 were delivered.

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

Below is the complete list:

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 talk about any environmental effect. During the Soviet era, there was no talk about personal vehicles; the question of what to transport was decided - 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 come to terms with traffic jams, it is more difficult to do so 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. What are the traffic jams like at the entrances to the beaches? There's anarchy there. Well, okay, this is the topic of the next publication.

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

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

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

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

Not only the infrastructure requires modernization, but the trolleybuses themselves require replacement. And not just replacements with modern trolleybuses, but replacements with trolleybuses specially designed and built for intercity lines in Crimea. First of all, they must have an air-conditioned interior with special luggage racks and seats designed for long trips.

20. Boarding the trolleybus 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, normal waiting chairs and access directly to the trolleybus doors. A good example is the Flygbussarna cityterminalen bus station in Stockholm. There, buses approach the terminal on a door-to-door basis.

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.

I talked about all the ways to quickly evacuate from Simferopol airport 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 railway ticket offices in 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 (during the season) were extended to a new public transport stop at the airport. 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

Simferopol-Yalta route No. 52

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.

Travel time is about 2.5 hours, maybe a little more. Fare 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 departs 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 problem getting from Simferopol to Alushta.

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.

But at the moment we only have the option: manually get from the New Airport to the Kurortnoye AS on 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 a convenience, since many tourists or local residents 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;
The travel time flies by quickly, as colorful landscapes appear outside the window - grape fields, orchards, mountain peaks, the 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 with 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!”

Crimea trolleybus records

The Crimea Trolleybus enterprise was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the company that has the oldest trolleybuses in the world in its technical fleet. The average age of cars is 25.7 years.

The longest trolleybus line in the world is Simferopol - Yalta.

Over half a century of operation, trolleybuses have transported a total of more than 5 billion passengers.

At the dawn of the development of trolleybus service, 24 freight trolleybuses were used on the line.

At the height of the holiday season in the 70-80s, trolleybuses on the route Simferopol - Alushta - Yalta departed every two minutes, which amounted to 500 trips per day.

Trolleybuses in Russia play a social role for the population. But it is unlikely that in any city this type of transport has gained such popularity as in Crimea. On the peninsula, the trolleybus went beyond the city and united several cities and the villages closest to them. Also, in comparison with other vehicles, this is one of the most affordable types of transport, spacious and environmentally friendly. The Crimean trolleybus schedule can be found below.

Crimea trolleybus schedule updated on April 4

There are trolleybuses in Crimea in several large cities; the most popular route is the trolleybus connection between Simferopol and the South Bank. The trolleybus route starts from the Simferopol airport and railway station and ends in the vicinity of Yalta, passing along the way the villages adjacent to Simferopol: Perevalnoe, Alushta, Alupka, Nikita and Yalta itself. There are several routes in this direction. Every year during the holiday season the number of flights increases. The route Simferopol - Yalta is a unique phenomenon not only within Crimea, but throughout Europe and the world. This is evidenced by the monument to the trolleybus in Crimea on the Angarsk Pass. The Crimean trolleybus line is the longest, its length is 84 km, and if from Simferopol airport, then all 96 km. The route was opened more than half a century ago. The first trolleybus went to Alushta in 1959, to Yalta a little later - in 1961.

For many years after the opening of the route, the trolleybus was not just a means of transportation, but also an attraction. Since there was an excursion throughout the journey, stops were made at observation platforms to admire the views. Today there are no such excursions, but Crimea Trolleybus is going to return to this tradition. After all, the attention of all passengers is still attracted by the unforgettable Crimean landscapes - the Demerdzhi, Ayu-Dag, Chatyrdag mountains, shady forests and the azure sea.

Crimea trolleybus schedule 2019 2018: intercity flights

There are two trolleybus stations in the capital:

bus station at the Simferopol railway station;
bus station at Simferopol airport.

The route is served by routes numbered 51 and 55. Trolleybuses numbered 51 travel at intervals of 25-60 minutes. They get to Alushta quite quickly, less than an hour. Flight 55 heads to Yalta, stopping at Perevalnoe, Alushta, and Gurzuf along the way. The journey takes 2.5 hours. Intervals between flights are 30-40 minutes. If you go from the railway station, the fare to Alushta will be 77 rubles, and to Yalta - 122 rubles. From the airport a little more expensive. To Alushta - 92, and to Yalta - 138 rubles. Travel from Alushta to Yalta is 47 rubles.

Crimea trolleybus schedule 2019 2018: suburban routes

Suburban routes are simply a salvation for residents of villages closest to cities. Constant and regular transportation guarantees getting to work or school on time. Also, trolleybus transport in Crimea is quite economical; travel will cost half as much as by bus. Another advantage is the presence of stops on suburban routes and the large capacity of this type of transport.

In Crimea, there are five flights connecting cities and villages on the Simferopol - Yalta route. All flights have their own schedule. All routes have thought out interchanges in each locality. Among suburban routes, Simferopol - Perevalnoye is especially popular: 21, 22, 23 flights run along this route. In Simferopol, each of them has its own final stop - the railway station, the central market, Svoboda. The route is necessary for both the local population and tourists. It is from Perevalnoye that you can start your journey to the Red Caves, to Chatyrdag, Tyrka or Dolgorukovskaya Yayla. The fare from Simferopol is 35 rubles.

The website contains the Crimean trolleybus schedule for 2019-2018. Knowing exactly the intervals between flights, direction and travel time, you can easily plan and adjust your trip.
