Two and a half hours have to spend on the road.
Last year, so-called high-speed trains went. In fact, this is the most common commuter train, it just stopped at not all stations (there are about twenty in the direction of Simferopol-Sevastopol), but only at four. So, at the stops managed to save up to forty minutes! Such an electric train delivered passengers an hour and a half to their destination. However, now they do not go.
The best option
Many travel in the direction of Simferopol-Sevastopol. How to get to the hero city? This question arises only once; further understanding is very simple. There are several bus stations in Simferopol, but the main one is called “Central”. Regular buses depart from there in all necessary directions. At the box office you can buy a ticket at any time. By the way, there are a lot of regular buses that go to Sevastopol. This may be the one that follows from Kerch or Theodosia through Simferopol. In the capital, the bus stops, “picks up” passengers and drives to Sevastopol. There are about a hundred such flights! Of course, if in Crimea the high season, it is advisable to purchase a ticket in advance. It’s better to overpay ten rubles for it (the minimum cost is 90 rubles), but then be sure that you don’t have to sit in the heat with your suitcases, waiting for two hours of an extra flight.
Fastest way
The fastest way to overcome the distance Simferopol-Sevastopol will turn out if you go by your own car. So, there are a lot of advantages. Firstly, you don’t have to stand twenty minutes at the exit of the city. This, of course, does not always happen, but it does. You can immediately go directly. You can choose a shorter route and not call in Bakhchisarai, where regular motorists drop off passengers who took a ticket to this city. But many people have a question: “Simferopol-Sevastopol - how to get there by car?”. In fact, the road is simple, without twists and turns. Just 73 kilometers you have to go straight. In general, even if in doubt, there are signs along the road, following the tips of which it will be possible to overcome the distance Simferopol-Sevastopol without problems.

I must say, if there is a car, then you should get only this mode of transport. Not so much gas will go away - about eight liters.
Way to the airports
Visitors will be interested to know that Simferopol-Airport-Sevastopol is a double direction. It should be clarified. It's just that there is an airport in both cities. The international Belbek is located near Sevastopol, and Simferopol, as you might guess, belongs to the capital of Crimea. At the box office of the hero city, you can even buy a ticket to Belbek. A bus follows a little less than half an hour. If you need to get to Simferopol airport, then when buying a ticket at the Sevastopol ticket office, you need to clarify this. It is worth noting that in Simferopol it is even easier to get to it. It is enough to take a minibus or trolley at the bus stop near the station that goes to the airport (usually the direction is written next to the bus number). Fifteen minutes later, you will be there.
Expensive but not always fast
There is another way to get from Sevastopol to Simferopol and vice versa. This is the most expensive and not always fast way. At the station, a private driver can offer a comfortable ride to the required city and calls the price five times or even more than the price of a ticket for a regular bus. And it’s not a fact that it will be possible to “fly” in an hour. Usually you have to wait another half hour in the car until the driver finds two or three more companions. This method is disadvantageous from all sides - both from a financial point of view and in terms of saving time. It’s easier to defend the same half an hour in line for a cheap ticket. However, here everyone decides for himself.
