The bus station in Petropavlovsk fully meets modern requirements. There is a fairly spacious waiting room with enough seats, and you can also sit on the covered boarding platforms before boarding the buses. There are kiosks where you can buy drinks, sweets, souvenirs, etc. and even a small cafe. All this is good and convenient. But flights have been reduced to a minimum, especially after the pandemic. There are practically no flights in the evening or early in the morning, especially for long distances - Novoishimsky, Bulaevo, Sergeevka, Timiryazevo, Kokchetav, Kustanai. But on the forecourt there are dozens of private owners' cars - they shout, they offer to take them anywhere.
But it's wrong and even dangerous to trust your life and health to random people! And people have no other choice if they need to go. And why the administration of the bus station, instead of expanding, on the contrary, reduces its routes. And there is no need to talk about unprofitability, just look at how many so-called "taxi drivers" are standing on the square, I'm not talking about Internet orders in various applications. And if there were enough bus trips, few people would turn to them. Because you're sitting in the square waiting for him to get a full car, when ordering online, you're also waiting for him to pick you up, and then the rest of the city, and then they rush at unlimited speed, not thinking about the safety of their passengers ...
No, it's better to be on schedule and with a proven driver Even if the trip itself is a little longer, according to experience, it still turns out faster and you spend less nerves on indefinite waiting... Not to mention the cost
A modern bus station in Petropavlovsk. Comfortable, clean, there is a cozy cafe for travelers to have a snack. There is free Wi-Fi, but only for Kazakhstani SIM cards.
A good bus station, clean, there is a buffet where you can buy. It is very convenient that everything is nearby, the railway station, shops, the Compote dining room,
We have made repairs, it has become more modern, we have put an elevator, it is especially pleasant, we used to climb the stairs with suitcases.And now it's beautiful.It would be good if an inexpensive cafe would be opened, otherwise there is nowhere to eat, and there is a cafe there, it is expensive, not everyone can afford it
What can I say, an excellent train station, small queues, excellent service, in general everything is perfect, everything is clean, beautiful inside, the staff is polite, responsive!!!👍👍👍😊😊😊
The good thing about this location is that you can leave here at any time in any direction. Taxis, buses, trains. And yes, it is very convenient that it is within walking distance from the train station.
In principle, like all bus stations, it is convenient that next to the train station, but it is not convenient that the ticket after 8 is only for cash
The best station sausage in the dough that I tried, it tastes very good! The station is clean and tidy most of the time. You can refund the money for the ticket.
Very cheap tickets to the nearest settlements. You cannot buy tickets in advance. There are no online ticket sales either, buses of a normal type only to big cities. Canned goods are coming to the villages.
Every time I go to the area, I use the services of the bus station. Cashiers correspond to their position, they are polite and responsive, they always explain and advise clearly . The only thing is to replace the seats in the waiting room with new ones and open a buffet for a snack while waiting.
Cleanliness is in order, prices are just terrible, Internet access is zero, especially when a foreigner has arrived and he does not have the opportunity to call, so at least on wat sap it would be cool, there is a cafe but it will not work in principle
I often use the services of the bus station. Very clean. Polite staff,. A very expensive toilet is 100 tenge. Parking lots are very often occupied. The entrances are convenient. But it's always convenient to go to him. You need to take tickets for earlier all the time there are no tickets
The full board was supposed to be sent at 10:30, when we arrived and approached the bus, the ticket at 10:30 said we should arrive earlier, your ticket was resold although there was no dispatch yet.now I'm eating standing up while the place is paid for
There is not enough room for a mother and child, the luggage room closes early and during the working day the woman is constantly out of place! There are no complaints about the ticket office operators, the girls work fast)))
The station is neat and clean. After the repair, the bus service in the region is regular. If you compare it with other bus stations in Petropavlovsk, it is fresher after repair. Bus service has improved since the quarantine. There are not enough online maps on the website, for the convenience of passengers in the region to know exactly where the buses are going so that they can use and transfer the application to the driver along the route, to know about free tags as well.
It would be even better to buy tickets on the bus station's website.
I think this station is like any other. The cleaning lady almost beat them with a mop for sitting where she was washing. Security often changes, it is not easy to work there. Often, polite women work at the cash desks. However, homeless people at the station are also not uncommon guests.
Basically, the train station is like any other, I guess.
The most important thing for me, since I haven't been to Petropavlovsk for a long time, is an elevator to climb to the 3rd floor, now you don't need to drag bags up the stairs to get to the waiting room and exit on the way
the toilet is very expensive, although the toilet is free next to the railway station, as it is, the bus station made the toilet paid and expensive, the staff should be rude if there is a ticket for the trip, the toilet should be free and after 19:00 the toilet is closed, the question is buses run until midnight install bio toilets on the street.
A beautiful bus station, it is advisable to add more coffee machines and make the toilet cheaper, and even after 7 p.m. the toilet in the interior does not work, although there are buses that leave at 23:00, there is no way to charge the phone, that phone charging machine just for money laundering does not work from the word at all
In general, the interior is quite clean and tidy, but the staff working here spoils the whole impression. Not only do you need to have patience to get through to them, they are also rude. They answer completely ordinary questions from people traveling in Karelia in such a way that the desire to return here disappears immediately. What kind of tourism are we talking about if people have not been taught to at least politely answer questions. And this, for a moment, is their job.
Bottom line: if you need information about the bus service within Karelia, it is better to search the Internet, and silently buy a ticket to them, so as not to spoil the whole impression.
In Russia, train stations are better than in Kazakhstan, it's cold, everything is expensive and taxi drivers say the price is 1000 and according to Yandex taxi 240
With such attendance, the staff has ten points, the girls at the checkout are positive and pleasant to communicate with .I like our bus station.Everything you need is there.
