"Krasnodar - Tuapse" is one of the most popular routes in the entire Krasnodar region. The distance between the cities is 175 kilometers (not much considering the scale of the whole country), so there should be no problems in overcoming it.
Method number 1 - drive your car
It is most convenient to drive the route "Krasnodar - Tuapse" by your own car. Firstly, comfort, secondly, speed, thirdly, independence. When he wanted to, then he went. Perhaps this is one of the most important advantages.
Well, it's pretty easy to calculate the travel time. It is known that the route "Krasnodar - Tuapse" - 175 kilometers. If you drive at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, the distance can be covered in less than two hours. Pretty fast. As for the cost of gasoline, this is also easy to calculate. Let's say a car spends 9 liters per hundred kilometers (it should be noted that the vast majority of cars have this maximum, if we talk about consumption on the highway). At an average cost per litergasoline at 36 rubles for the whole trip will take 16 liters. Total 576 rubles.
True, 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 take care of this issue in advance, so that later, during the trip, there will be no problems. And then you can get lost. You also need to know 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 it's all about. This is perhaps the most profitable option in all respects. Needless to say about overcoming such a route as "Krasnodar - Tuapse" (distance less than 200 kilometers), by bus, when some people travel by minibuses from Moscow to Sevastopol. The most pleasant advantage that distinguishes this option is the price. A bus ticket "Krasnodar - Tuapse" costs only 285 rubles. Compared to the cost of gasoline, it turns out to be as much as 300 rubles cheaper.
Although there are, of course, their disadvantages. If you can cover the path in your car in less than two hours, then you will have to sit on the bus for four whole hours. Again - the price is two times lower, but you need to spend 2 times more time. Very proportionate. But this is understandable, because the bus makes stops, picking up other passengers along the way.
Schedule
Since the route is popular, sobuses run regularly. The very first departs from Krasnodar at 6:30 in the morning, and arrives in Tuapse 4 hours later, 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 daily in the direction "Krasnodar - Tuapse".
By the way, if you don't want to take a fixed-route long-distance taxi, but it doesn't work in your personal car, there is a third way - a kind of middle ground. At bus stations, friendly private car owners offer to take you to the required point for an amount greater than the cost of a ticket. They recruit 4-5 people and hit the road. It turns out more expensive than by bus, but cheaper than by car, but the time is the same. Unless you have to wait until the driver collects the required number of passengers. But usually you don't have to spend a lot of time waiting (especially at the height 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". The train is, of course, not the most popular mode of transport, but it also has a place to be. As well as, in fact, trains. However, few people use them, since you have to spend more time on the road than on the bus, and the ticket does not become cheaper from this. For example, a ticket from Krasnodar to Tuapse in a reserved seat will cost about 900 rubles! That's 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 train ticket from Taganrog is about 300 rubles. Almost like a bus. And the journey is five hours. But there is no point in actually choosing this type of transport, as buses run with enviable regularity.
In general, there is a choice, but how to get there is already an individual matter.
