Krasnodar - Tuapse is one of the most popular routes in the entire Krasnodar Territory. The distance between cities is 175 kilometers (not so much, if you recall the scale of the whole country), so there should not be any problems in overcoming it.
Method number 1 - a trip in your car
It is most convenient to drive the Krasnodar - Tuapse route by your own car. Firstly, comfort, secondly, speed, thirdly, independence. When he wanted, then he went. Perhaps this is one of the most important advantages.
Well, calculating the time spent on the journey is quite simple. It is known that the route "Krasnodar - Tuapse" is 175 kilometers. If you travel at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, then the distance can be covered in less than two hours. Pretty fast. As for the cost of gasoline, this is also easy to calculate. Suppose a car spends 9 liters per hundred kilometers (it should be noted that the vast majority of cars have a maximum when it comes to highway consumption). With an average cost per liter of gasoline at 36 rubles, 16 liters will go for the whole trip. Total 576 rubles.
However, before the trip you will have to find out how to go, especially if such a trip is planned for the first time. It is better to preoccupy this issue so that later, during the trip, there will be no problems. And then you can get lost. You also need to find out about traffic police points and gas stations: this information is never superfluous.
Method number 2 - bus
There is another common way to overcome the route "Krasnodar - Tuapse". The bus is what this is about. This is perhaps the most profitable option in all respects. Needless to say, overcoming such a route as Krasnodar - Tuapse (distance less than 200 kilometers) by bus, when some people travel by regular minibuses from Moscow to Sevastopol. The most pleasant advantage that distinguishes this option is the price. The ticket for the bus "Krasnodar - Tuapse" costs only 285 rubles. When compared with the cost of gasoline, it comes out as much as 300 rubles cheaper.
Although there are, of course, its disadvantages. If you can overcome the path in your car in less than two hours, then you will have to sit on the bus for as many as four. Again - the price is two times lower, but you need to spend 2 times more time. Very proportional. But this is understandable, because the bus makes stops, picking up other passengers along the way.
timetable
Since the route is popular, then buses go on a flight regularly. The very first leaves Krasnodar at 6:30 in the morning, and arrives in Tuapse after 4 hours, at 10:30. The next bus leaves in two hours. Then only after 4 hours, at 12:30. But it is worth noting that flights depart not only from the bus station, but also from other places. For example, from the stop "CHP" or from the second bus station. In general, more than twenty buses run in the Krasnodar-Tuapse direction daily.
By the way, if you don’t want to ride a fixed-route long-distance taxi, but it doesn’t work in a personal car, there is a third way — a kind of middle ground. At bus stations, friendly private car owners offer, for an amount greater than the cost of the ticket, to take to the necessary point. They recruit 4-5 people and hit the road. It turns out more expensive than by bus, but cheaper than by car, but the same in time. Unless you have to wait until the driver collects the required number of passengers. But usually you do not have to spend a lot of time waiting (especially in the midst of the holiday season) - literally half an hour, and you can go.
Electric trains and trains
And finally, I would like to talk about another way to overcome the route "Krasnodar - Tuapse". An electric train is not, of course, the most popular form of transport, but it also has a place to be. Like, in fact, trains. However, few people use them, since they have to spend more time on the road than on the bus, and the ticket does not get cheaper from this. For example, a ticket from Krasnodar to Tuapse on a reserved seat will cost about 900 rubles! These are three full bus rides! And in the compartment, and at all one and a half thousand.
There are, of course, cheap places. For example, the cost of a ticket for a train coming from Taganrog is about 300 rubles. Almost like a bus. And on the road - five hours. But it makes no sense to actually choose this type of transport, as buses run with enviable regularity.
In general, there is a choice, and how to get there is an individual matter.
