SIMFEROPOL trolleybus depot & museum.
There is no railway to the seaside and health resort at Yalta because of the difficult terrain. In the 1950s a new road some 50 miles long was constructed from the railhead at Simferopol complete with trolleybus wiring. The first service journey was in November 1959. Today the trolleybus service is a shadow of its former self with through passengers using the the more modern and faster competing minibuses.
