Prices for train tickets in the absence of air services were discussed in Crimea
In the summer, trains will run to Crimea in 15 directions.
The highest intensity is on routes from Moscow and back, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“10 lines are included in the summer schedule of passenger trains in 2022,” said KZD General Director Mikhail Goncharov. “These 10 lines include 15 trains, since some of them do not move daily, but with some frequency.”
It is planned to add two trains to the summer schedule on the route Moscow - Simferopol and Moscow - Kerch and three more to increase passenger traffic in resort destinations.
“There is an order from Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko about at least five additional trains on the Moscow-Simferopol route,” recalled Vadim Volchenko, Minister of Resorts and Tourism of Crimea. – The capabilities of the KZD allow. Now we are working out the technical capabilities with Russian Railways not only in Crimea, but in the south of Russia as a whole, and the necessary rolling stock.”
From June 1, the Simferopol-Adler train will run daily to Crimea and back, connecting the peninsula with the nearest operating airport. Every other day the Simferopol-Kislovodsk train will run to organize delivery from Mineralnye Vody airport.
However, the cost of travel in compartments and SVs has remained dynamic, and at the height of the season, travel by rail will be several times more expensive than air transport. Fixed price only for reserved seat.
“At the moment we are talking about having enough tickets, and then we will regulate the price,” Volchenko retorted.
A Tourist Information Center to provide advisory assistance was opened for guests in the building of the Simferopol railway station. A volunteer service has also been organized there to meet people with limited mobility and children’s organized groups. Separately, a scheme has been worked out for transferring organized groups of children arriving to Crimea on vouchers from children’s health resorts.
