The operator of city and intercity trolleybus lines in Simferopol, Yalta and Alushta - “Krymtrolleybus” - will become part of “Krymavtotrans”. This is another step towards creating a single regional transport operator in Crimea.

The merger of two republican transport SUEs into one enterprise was approved by Decree of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea dated December 29, 2017 No. 1568-r. The order notes that Krymavtotrans becomes the legal successor of the rights and obligations of Krymtrolleybus. Before March 1, 2018, the liquidation commission was ordered to resolve all issues related to the merger of structures, including the release of employees who did not find a place in the new staffing table.

The property of Crimea Trolleybus is assigned to the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan “Krymavtotrans” under the right of economic management, including:

  • Simferopol trolleybus park with 171 trolleybus models: Skoda-9Tr (two units), Skoda-14Tr (seven units), Aviant K-12.03 (three units), Aviant K-12.04 (one unit), Bogdan-T70110 (52 units. ), Bogdan-T70115 (16 units), Bogdan-T80110 (two units), Trolza-526500 (two units), SVARZ-MAZ-6275 (14 units), Trolza-5265.02 (30 units), Trolza -5265.05 (17 units) and Trolza-5265.03 (27 units);
  • Central trolleybus repair shops with and 68 trolleybuses of the models Skoda-9Tr (39 units), Skoda-14Tr (20 units), Skoda-15Tr (two units), YuMZ T2-09 (two units), BKM-32102 (five units) ;
  • Alushta trolleybus park with 48 trolleybuses of the models Skoda-9Tr (8 units), Skoda-14Tr (14 units), Bogdan-T70115 (one unit), Trolza-5265.05 (23 units);
  • Yalta trolleybus park with 74 trolleybuses of the models Skoda-9Tr (17 units), Skoda-14Tr (20 units), Bogdan-T60111 (19 units), Bogdan-T70110 (two units), VMZ-5298-0000010-01 (three units .), Bogdan-T70115 (13 units).

In the near future, Krymavtotrans should include the Simferopol municipal unitary enterprise Goravtotrans, the municipal unitary enterprise Kerchgortrans and the Directorate of Bus Stations, reports REGNUM news agency. New buses that are purchased for Goravtotrans and Kerchgortrans are purchased under the obligations of the Republic of Crimea, and not municipalities. In 2018, the Krymavtotrans fleet is planned to be replenished with 800 units of passenger vehicles, tenders for the purchase of which will be announced soon.

The trolleybus system "Crimeatrolleybus" should receive 27 trolleybuses on lease this year, which will be used on the southern coast of Crimea. Suppliers are subject to strict requirements: trolleybuses must be compact, suitable for the narrow streets of southern coastal cities, and also be able to run autonomously for up to 20 km, reports RIA Novy Den.

From January 1, 2018, a new price has been established on the Crimean Trolleybus routes. A monthly pass for city routes costs 840 rubles (for schoolchildren - 420 rubles), and for suburban routes - 1200 rubles. (for schoolchildren – 600 rubles).

  • in the cities of Alushta, Simferopol, Yalta - 14 rubles;
  • on suburban routes №№ 31 "Alushta - V. Kutuzovka", 32 "Alushta - Zaprudnoe", 41 "Yalta - Krasnokamenka", 42 “Yalta – Nikitsky Botanical Garden” - 20 rubles;
  • on the route № 21 “Simferopol - Perevalnoye” (to the village of Pionerskoye – 20 rubles);
  • on the “Airport – Alushta” section – 92 rubles;
  • on the section "Simferopol - Alushta" - 77 rubles;
  • on the section “Airport – Yalta” – 138 rubles;
  • on the section "Simferopol - Yalta" - 122 rubles;
  • on the section "Alushta - Yalta" - 47 rubles.

In Soviet times, Krymavtotrans was a production and territorial association, including 33 passenger and cargo automobile enterprises and more than 50 bus stations. However, in last years Only the former ATP-14399 from Simferopol, which had about 60 buses for operation on intercity lines, operated under this name. The remaining divisions of Krymavtotrans either became independent structures or ceased to exist.

The Crimean Trolleybus enterprise was created on May 9, 1959 by the decision of the Crimean Regional Executive Committee to manage the operation of trolleybuses on the intercity route Simferopol-Alushta-Yalta. Since 2017, “Krymtrolleybus”, in addition to trolleybuses, began to serve

It is believed that the Crimean trolleybus route Simferopol-Alushta-Yalta is the longest in the world. In two and a half hours, the trolleybus covers 84 kilometers, the distance from - 96 km. In addition, this is the only European circuit that runs in the mountains. In addition to the practical benefits of the trip, you will receive bonuses in the form of wonderful mountain landscapes and the opportunity to make a wish at an altitude of 752 meters. It will definitely come true!

Now trolleybus traffic in Crimea has been established on urban, suburban and intercity routes in,. The state unitary enterprise Crimea trolleybus ensures their uninterrupted operation. It all started back in 1958, when the government decided to build an intercity trolleybus line to unite Simferopol and resorts South Bank Crimea with a single transport network.

Such routes, up to 30 km long, already existed in Italy. In England there was the South Lancashire Route, 51 km long. Crimean builders set to work with great enthusiasm.

Important! In just 11 months (less than a year!), traffic was opened on the section from Simferopol to Alushta, with a total length of 52 km!

In addition to the construction of the roadway, two trolleybus depots, traction substations, more than three thousand supports and more than 200 kilometers of contact cable were required. At the same time, the “Crimean Trolleybus Administration” was organized (now the organization is called “Crimean Trolleybus” - here is their official website).

The second part of the line, from Alushta to Yalta, went into operation in the summer of 1961. The first trolleybus was driven by the head of the department, A. Vasilenko, and the passengers were the route builders.

It turned out that building a track is only half the battle; you still need to find a car that can withstand long and steep descents and ascents. Soviet MTB-82D trolleybuses failed the tests. At full load they smoked and their rear axle jammed.

Then it was decided to cooperate with the Czech concern Skoda. These vehicles were distinguished by reliability, high maneuverability and good maneuverability.

Traffic opened at 4:30 am and continued until 2 am. In addition to the driver, there was a conductor in the cabin, who at the same time acted as a tour guide. The real trolleybus boom happened in the 70-80s of the last century.

Interesting! At the height of the tourist season, the interval of trolleybus traffic on the Yalta-Simferopol route was only 2 minutes. Tickets for flights could be purchased at railway ticket offices in Moscow, Kyiv, Minsk, Vilnius, Leningrad.

Trolleybus Simferopol-Yalta

The route to the Simferopol railway station begins. One line goes to Simferopol airport. The other part passes through the city and through the villages of Lozovoye, Pionerskoye, Zarechnoye rises to Perevalnoye. Amateurs come out here too active rest, heading to Chatyr-Dag, Karabi-Yayla, to the Marble Cave.

Note: Now on the Angarsk Pass, near the stop there is a monument to a trolleybus. From the inscription it follows that this is a Skoda, produced in 1972. More than 20 million passengers were transported during its forty years of operation.

Along the Yalta highway there are vineyards and small resort villages: , Lavrovoe, Krasnokamenka, . The trolleybus route ends at the bus station in Yalta.

It is planned to soon replace trolleybuses on the Simferopol - Alushta - Yalta route with electric buses.

Route numbering

For the convenience of passengers from January 1, 2016, new numbering was introduced trolleybus routes.

  • City routes are numbered from 1 to 15.
  • Route numbers in the Simferopol region begin with the number 2.
  • C 3 – suburban routes in the Alushta City Council.
  • From number 4 - within the boundaries of the Yalta City Council.
  • By the first digit 5 ​​( 51, 52 ) recognize intercity trolleybuses.

Fares, prices 2019

The fare varies depending on the distance; each trolleybus has a conductor who calculates the cost of the ticket and luggage.

  • Travel ticket inside cities Simferopol, Alushta, Yalta will cost you 20 rubles.
  • Fare from railway station Simferopol to Yalta amounts to 182 rubles.
  • From the bus station Alushta to the village of Perevalnoe the ticket costs 52 rubles.

Life hacks for travelers

  • Take seats near the windows, so you will have more opportunities to appreciate the beauty of the scenery.
  • Be sure to take a small bottle of water. Driving in the heat can become tiring; the air conditioners that are equipped in the interiors of modern cars do not always help.
  • Be careful and vigilant: do not leave things unattended.

Note: Crimean trolleybuses keep up with the times - new cars are equipped with televisions. You can watch your favorite cartoons or educational videos.

The Crimean trolleybus is convenient, one might say unique look transport. Therefore, if you are going on a trip to Crimea, be sure to plan to ride a trolleybus along the Simferopol-Alushta-Yalta route.

Cashless payment

A cashless payment system has been introduced on city trolleybus routes.

Save it so you don’t forget!

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 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 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 papers, for which it was decided to abandon the project, since many landslide areas were 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. On regular passenger transportation he is not currently involved. Ending station"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 train tickets to Simferopol at railway ticket offices major cities 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 of them were removed from the center of Simferopol minibus taxis. The vehicles delivered during this period still form the basis of the Crimean Trolleybus fleet.

At the beginning of 2014, Crimea was annexed to 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.

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

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 on 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.

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

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 contact networks and reach average speed movement of trolleybuses 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 treats the trolleybus not as a modern and attractive form of transport, but as part of 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 shelves for luggage 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 review, normal waiting chairs and exit directly to the trolleybus doors. Good example- bus station "Flygbussarna cityterminalen" in Stockholm. There, buses approach the terminal on a door-to-door basis.

Russian empire

For many years there have been conversations and construction projects underway railway to Yalta. There were 2 projects: one from Bakhchisaray through a tunnel through the mountains to Yalta, and the second from Sevastopol along the southern coast to Yalta and from Yalta to Alushta. Before the Great Patriotic War, work began on laying tracks, after it they returned to the project, but it was not possible to resume work, since a landslide began in the area of ​​the village of Opolznevoye, soil shifts, 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.

USSR

In 1958, the government of the Ukrainian SSR in Kyiv decided to build an intercity mountain trolleybus line Simferopol - Alushta - Yalta. The first stage of this Simferopol - Alushta line, 52 km long, was built and put into operation in a record time of 11 months. The line was built by specialists from more than 80 enterprises from 10 cities of the Ukrainian SSR: Sevastopol, Kyiv, Kherson and other cities. In the first stage, 2 trolleybus parks were built in Simferopol and Alushta, 16 traction substations, more than 3 thousand supports were installed and over 200 km of overhead wire were suspended. In May 1959, the Crimean Trolleybus Administration was organized. In the summer of the same year, the first 40 trolleybuses arrived in Simferopol: domestically produced MTB-82D and 8 Czechoslovak-made Škoda 8Tr vehicles. On November 6, 1959, trolleybus traffic on the Simferopol - Alushta line was inaugurated. The first trolleybuses on this line worked with conductors and guides.

In July 1961, the second stage of the Alushta-Yalta intercity trolleybus line, 33 kilometers long, was built. During the construction of the intercity line, dozens of difficult turns were cut and the road was widened. The trolleybus from Simferopol to Alushta took 1 hour 50 minutes, and to Yalta 2 hours 50 minutes. The low speed of the trolleybus along the route was determined by the design of the pantograph, and primarily by the attachment of the head to the rod. In 1962, engineers from the technical department of trolleybus management, Bayda Yu.S. and Pekelis A.M., developed a folding head of the pantograph, which made it possible to increase speed and reduce travel time.

In the 70-80s, during the holiday season, trolleybus traffic intervals on the Simferopol - Alushta route averaged 2 minutes. During these years, for the convenience of passengers, 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 Soviet Union: Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Kharkov, Riga and Vilnius, and trolleybuses depart not only from railway station, but also from the airport.

Ukraine

In 1993, the line from the Yalta highway to the village of Krasnokamenka officially opened. In fact, this line was built back in the spring of 1992 and was served by one trolleybus, but there was no official route.

In the 1990s, routes No. 54 “Airport - Alushta” (not operating since 1993), No. 55 “Airport - Yalta” (as a regular route not operating since 1993, completely canceled in 1998), No. 56 “f/ d Station - Angarsk Pass" (worked irregularly until 1996 inclusive), 57 "Alushta - Angarsk Pass".

In 2002, route No. 58 Alushta - Perevalnoe was closed.

Russia

On April 25, 2014, traffic on intercity routes No. 54 and 55 from the Airport to Alushta and Yalta was restored.

Between August 2016 and January 2017, 40 new Trolza-5265.05 Megapolis trolleybuses were delivered for the intercity route. On June 1, 2018, routes No. 54 and 55 were canceled [ ] .
