Yalta alushta trolleybus 52 schedule. Crimean trolleybuses on the longest trolleybus route in the world
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 moving the project away from the landslide area were considered, but research work for which it was decided to abandon the project, since a lot of 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. In regular passenger traffic he's not active right now. 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 train tickets to Simferopol at the railway ticket offices of major 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 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. AT 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 them were removed from the center of Simferopol fixed-route taxis. The cars delivered during this period still form the basis of the Krymtrolleybus fleet.
At the beginning of 2014, Crimea was annexed to Russian Federation(Anexia to Krim Russia) and a feeling began to emerge 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 Russia. 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. about any tourism industry it is impossible to speak 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 must be air-conditioned rooms with good overview, normal chairs for waiting 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.
In Crimea, you have a great chance to tour the longest trolleybus line in Europe. The route passes along mountain roads from Simferopol to Alushta and further to Yalta. To Alushta - one and a half hours, to Yalta two and a half. The Simferopol-Alushta trolleybus route was opened in 1959, and in 1961 the line was extended to Yalta.
In total, there are seventeen trolleybus routes run by Krymtrolleybus: three in Yalta, two in Alushta, six city routes in Simferopol and six suburban and intercity routes. The Crimean trolleybus line, the longest in the world, is 96 km long. In total, the trolleybus lines of Simferopol are about 120 km long.
Simferopol - Alushta - Yalta: stops and attractions
The route starts with a transfer at the Central bus station, then goes the village of Maryino, which is considered a suburb of Simferopol, Lozovoye, Pionerskoye and Zarechnoye. From a stop in the village of Perevalnoye, you can walk to the Red Caves, Kizil-Koba - only three kilometers.

Records of "Krymtrolleybus"
The enterprise "Krymtrolleybus" got into the Guinness Book of Records as a company that has the oldest trolleybuses in the world in its technical park. The average age of cars is 25.7 years.
The world's longest trolleybus line Simferopol - Yalta.
For half a century of work, trolleybuses have transported a total of more than 5 billion passengers.
At the dawn of the development of trolleybus communication, 24 freight trolleybuses were used on the line.
In the midst of holiday season in the 70-80s, trolleybuses on the route Simferopol - Alushta - Yalta departed every two minutes, which amounted to 500 trips per day.
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 the trolleybus line in the Crimea had to be developed to replace the failed construction 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.
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. In the same period, until January 2017, the trolleybus fleet was updated, new, modern and comfortable trolleybuses arrived, more than 60 pieces.
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 stop public transport in the airoport. 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 intercity route, 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 bus stop « Train Station» . See the box office bus service, across the road (pedestrian crossing) there will be trolleybus ticket offices and the station itself.
All schedules in the article are taken from summer season 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.
Online 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 on this moment we only have an 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 quickly, as colorful landscapes appear outside the window - vineyards, orchards, Mountain peaks, 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.

26. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to ride a trolleybus on this trip, but we will definitely need to drive along the longest trolleybus route in the world. 
Reports from a trip to the spring Crimea:
