Autotourists are offered to leave their cars in Kuban and travel to Crimea by bus
Moscow - Simferopol, July 29 (Navigator, Mikhail Stamm) - The Government of the Russian Federation has proposed another measure to reduce traffic jams on the ferry crossing to Crimea: it is now proposed to include a park-and-ride service in the “single ticket” service. But few people are ready to give up road travel around Crimea.

Yesterday, the government published draft amendments to the April 29 decree, which introduces a “single ticket” for travel to Crimea through the Kerch Strait. It is proposed to include a mechanism for intercepting parking for cars, opened in Taman last week, into the “single ticket”. One of them - for 1 thousand cars - is located on the Chushka spit, the other - for 1,2 thousand cars - in the area of the village of Ilyich. It is proposed that passengers can arrive in their own car on the peninsula, leave the car in the parking lot, and then transfer to a bus (they will be loaded onto the ferry without waiting in line). The explanatory note states that this will “ensure the storage of vehicles outside populated areas without increasing the load on the road network.”
The decision was made on July 18 at a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, Kommersant writes. The day before, Dmitry Medvedev instructed the government to “use all possible means” to relieve traffic at the Kerch ferry crossing, where 3 thousand cars had accumulated on the approach to the port of Kavkaz, many waiting in line for up to 40 hours.
But it is unlikely that car owners will want to “throw away” their cars of their own free will, says Mikhail Blinkin, director of the Institute of Transport Economics and Transport Policy at the Higher School of Economics.
