Everything about Crimean Trolleybus totally explained
Crimean Trolleybus Line (; ) in
Crimea,
Ukraine is currently the longest
trolleybus line in the world. It is about 86
kilometres (
54 miles) long, and runs between the
autonomous republic's capital,
Simferopol, and the coastal city of
Yalta on the
Black Sea.
The trolleybus line, managed by the public transport company Krymtrolleybus, was built in the 1950's in the
Ukrainian SSR as an alternative to extending the current railway line in Simferopol over the mountains to the coastal settlements. The line was opened in two parts: Simferopol—Alushta segment was opened in 1959 and the Simferopol—Yalta segment in 1961. The journey to Alushta is about 1½ hours long, and the journey to Yalta is about 2½ hours long, and costs about 8
hryvnias.
The trolleybus line's route passes through the
Crimean Mountains across the Angarsky Pass, reaching 752
metres (
2,500 feet) at the road's highest point, then decending down to the resort town of
Alushta on the coast. The remaining distance to Yalta equals 41 km long, winding around the mountains and above the sea.
