It was in April 2022. If you go from Kazakhstan, then everything is fine. There is a small sticker on the transition, but they work relatively well and quickly. But back here, it's a complete kick-ass. The calleika was 6 km away, it took 2.5 days, taking into account that during this time I slept for half an hour, two hours. If I had rested properly, 4-5 days would have passed. The whole reason is that there are so-called "PUSHERS" there, they negotiate with whom they need to for a fee and let cars in without waiting in line. The locals, and the cops themselves, do not disdain to push cars. And the guys gathered, and talked and made faces. They will subside for half a day and everything will be all over again.
It was on August 18th, 2021 at this checkpoint. I was just stunned by the speed of passage of both points. Everything took about 20-25 minutes. Well done guys. Everything is fast, clear, and without delay.
There is always a traffic jam on the Kazakh side, especially in Kazakhstan. The staff is strange, but almost normal, and it came to swearing and helped, we continue to work
