A sought-after train station. Purely functional. Before the trip, you can buy a lot of little things for the road. Buses in various directions are waiting for passengers in the spacious parking lot. Convenient location of ticket offices and waiting areas..
The Sairan Bus Station left two impressions. On the one hand, it is a major transport hub with a large number of flights in different directions, which makes it very convenient for travel. The staff at the ticket offices is polite and ready to help with any questions.
On the other hand, the condition of the station itself leaves much to be desired. It would not hurt to renovate and renovate some rooms to make the passengers' stay more comfortable. The train station is often crowded, especially on weekends and holidays, which creates some inconvenience.
And, of course, I can't help but mention a joke I heard at the train station: they say that blackbirds fly here in the morning and leave on the first flight to Kapshagai! In general, Cyran performs its function, but there is room to grow in terms of comfort and infrastructure.
The Sairan Bus Station in Almaty is a convenient and modern transport hub that provides comfortable movement between different regions and cities. I was impressed by the cleanliness and organization of the bus station, as well as the wide range of services provided. Passenger traffic is high here, but all operations are carried out promptly and without unnecessary delays. In addition, the Sairan Bus Station has a good location, which facilitates accessibility for passengers. Top-level service: the staff is polite and ready to help with any questions. Thanks to the Sairan Bus station, my trips become much more convenient and safe.
Spacious, clean. There is a place to wait for the bus. There is a place to have a snack or take food and drink on the road. The cash registers work clearly. Buses are served clean and on-time. Only in Almaty there is such a bus station.
I love this place. As a child, and even now, you can go to Issyk Kul, a mountain lake at an altitude of 1600-1700 m. above sea level and which is located in Kyrgyzstan. There is an artificial lake Sairan near the station. The station itself is located in the western part of the city.
The building is old, everything remains exactly the same as it was in my childhood.Repairs are needed, train stations are our face.It's shameful in front of foreigners.Upgrade the buses to modern ones with normal air conditioning and comfortable seats.Buses are all ancient too.I want to see the updates.I speak like a native.
Firstly, the seats are cold, I have repeatedly written that you need to change the seats to soft ones. This is a waiting room, and sometimes people sit there for hours waiting to board a bus. As a student, arriving by bus at night, I did not have the opportunity to go to the hostel by taxi, I sat for hours on these seats and was left without children, I was diagnosed with infertility. Do you want other girls to earn infertility for themselves? Maybe the guys are suffering too. Nobody does statistics, after all. Put even more iron seats, let it be bad for everyone! This is the cry of my soul!
The second point: It is impossible to pay at the ticket office using a ticket card. Finally, enter the payment by Quar or transfer at the cash desks! And so, you need to first go to the ATMs, withdraw cash, and then queue at the cash desk to pay for a bus ticket in cash. Since Soviet times, we have hated queues. But as you can see, the owners of the bus station, Sairan, really like them. They don't care!
The building of the Sairan bus station in Almaty is a masterpiece of architectural art of the last century, but it requires major repairs, it does not look well maintained...although today the service can be attributed to international transportation from Mongolia and China to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. There are always booklets, the buses are comfortable... This means that money can be found for reconstruction and modernization, and the city can also allocate funds... For tourism, it could be an iconic object - a business card!
A good bus station. They explained it and prompted me. Clear.
I liked everything. The canteen is also normal. It's just too expensive. And so the portions are large.
Horror, such dirt, desolation, believe me, there is something to compare it with, when it was opened it was clean and beautiful, everything worked a lot of outlets, cafes for every taste.It was bright at night, music was playing, life was in full swing, there were no homeless people, and now this is a homeless shelter
A normal bus station in the Kazakh style) went to Bishkek, in general everything is OK. Not the most modern bus station, you have to understand)
The road to Bishkek is very beautiful.
Sairam Bus Station is the main departure point for buses and minibuses both in the city and throughout Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. There is practically no need to wait for the bus. There is a mother and child room at the station that is very comfortable. Also...
Advantages: You can get on the bus without a ticket.
Disadvantages: The hustle and bustle of the city.
A majestic Soviet building. The aesthetics of those years are felt. There is parking, a beautiful lake nearby. It is fashionable to eat in a cafe nearby. Everything is fine in this place
Convenient location, large Parking lot. The toilet is paid, but going there is still a quest. Complete unsanitary conditions.Plus, they made paid parking, and there are no benefits for the disabled.
The restrooms are all in the main building, there is no air in the bus station itself, in summer it is stuffy in winter, logically, it sometimes freezes. The notification system is quiet and indistinct. For elderly people, or with any severity of ear diseases, the voice cannot be made out. People rely on experience and questioning.
A good bus station. Spacious, bright, lots of seats for passengers. It caught my eye that there is no usual hustle. You do not need a passport to buy tickets and board the bus:)
It's just chaos all around. It is unclear where to go, there is no real bus schedule. Either you can't get through on the phone, or they won't tell you the exact information. There is a lot of space inside that is empty. There are no clear tariffs for the transportation and transfer of parcels, everything is negotiated on the spot. In general, there are sooo many things to change and do, but for now it's just a building...
I was traveling from sairan bus station to Turkestan. It turns out that you can reserve a seat on the bus in advance. It is very convenient for you to stay in your seat.From the bus station you can travel in any direction, the price is not too expensive.
A good bus station is about equalization with others, you can go anywhere. Yes, there are always places, and I especially liked the trip to Uzbekistan Tashkent
When visiting this bus station, there was a feeling that time had stopped here - almost unchanged Soviet interiors. I was also a little surprised by the complete lack of security facilities at the entrance
It's a mess, some bombs, there's no taxi company, who's driving, the condition of the car is a nightmare, prices for services are asked as for business class. The drivers are very rude. If you are a foreign citizen, the prices are twice as high. And I also have to say thanks for being lucky in my car... It is a shame for the city of Almaty and the country as a whole.
Our chic bus station is greeted by cashiers with a smile through the window and they will answer any question while waiting for the bus, you can relax in the hall itself or go for a snack in the dining room
The hotel is just terrible, and the prices are sky-high 17 thousand a day, they do not rent by the hour, if a person does not need a day and wait a couple of hours, the toilets stink dirty, they take money from a small child, as a three-year-old child will be able to serve himself in a public toilet, or pay for himself and the child, This is arrogance*
A huge stupid bus station. To go to the toilet somewhere outside and into the basement. In general, it is tolerable, I have seen worse, for example, in Bishkek, but Almaty, it seems, claims a higher status. Okay, we CIS residents are used to everything, but there are a lot of tourists from far abroad, and the train station is often the face of the city
A clean bus station, a dining room located directly in the building itself, they also cook very tasty there, I recommend you try compote.He is at the highest level there.
The feeling of abandonment and inappropriate use of the old bus station does not leave. Excellent location..There is a lack of competent development of the hidden potential of this building.
A good bus station, but keep in mind that parking is paid from the first minutes, and in general flights in different directions, I often go to Issyk-Kul from there, the most budget prices
The bus station is big and dirty, and there are very few places to wait, the problem with toilets if you arrive for the first time, it will be difficult to navigate and even more so to find a bathroom
It's beautiful, spacious, somehow cozy in a Soviet way. You can get tickets to my destination online, so it's quite convenient. You can come take a look, even if you just came to take a walk on the reservoir

SAIRAN BUS STATION. BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE .ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS OF OUR CITY. THERE IS ORDER INSIDE. BUSES TO ALL DESTINATIONS AND TO NEIGHBORING REPUBLICS. TO CHINA AND MONGOLIA. AND ALSO TO RUSSIA. THE WAITING ROOM. IT'S A PITY THAT THE SECOND FLOOR WAS GIVEN OVER TO A STORE. THE FORECOURT IS A BIT MESSY. SAN NODES ARE PAID. BUT THERE IS NO ORDER.IN GENERAL , TO PUT THINGS IN ORDER A LITTLE BIT . AND CYRAN WILL ALSO BE BEAUTIFUL AND IT WILL BE PLEASANT FOR ALL OF US
A bus station with its own history.
The order has become a little noticeable now.
But in the past years, everything looked too suspicious.
Now, of course, there are changes, but not so much to say that everything is comfortable.
There are hotel rooms if you wait until the morning, of course, they are not free.
The toilets are not very clean.
The service is not a luxury, but someone may get away with it.
In general, everything is not bad, but the main drawback is that there are no working sockets. When you urgently need to recharge your phone, it is impossible to do here.
Even when a lot of people and places are occupied, you can't just sit in the dining room, they get kicked out if you don't buy something. I don't know about the food, but the pastries are very tasty. There is no toilet inside the station, it is outside downstairs. It happens sometimes dirty.
A huge bus station built in Soviet times.
There are a lot of seats, a pharmacy, shops, a buffet.
The toilet is of course inconveniently located, to enter you need to leave the station, walk down the street and you are in the toilet, entrance is paid.
To go to the toilet, you need to leave the building🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ It's hot, stuffy, and there's no air conditioning. There are people crowding around bus stops, there is no place to sit down. But the bus station itself is big
Previously, it was better to leave for Bishkek Taldykorgan at any time, but now there are no minibuses....then there are no minibuses, then only on time...It 's not convenient !!!!
There is a bazaar inside the building, a toilet outside the building, or rather, in the basement, which can be accessed through the exterior of the building.
On-site parking is not provided for greeters.
There was a time when Cyran always helped out. Buses to Shymkent or Zhetysai were 22-00,23-00. Now I don't know if there is or not. I haven't used it for a long time.
The bus station of my childhood))) since childhood, we have traveled from this bus station in all directions and the prices are normal, the transport is also good (there is of course better, but more expensive) so I recommend it 👍👍👍
There are not many advantages, there are disadvantages, there are no sockets for charging gadgets in the modern world, this is very necessary. The help window does not work all the time
Parking is large and convenient.You can have a delicious meal.You can go anywhere in Kazakhstan .plus, the post-Soviet building resembles the 80s pleasantly.
