Good time of day. We arrived at night, to the toilet only in local currency - they do not take cards, the dining room has been poorly developed since 6 a.m., with natural coffee - sadness. There are no smiles on their faces, as if they should..
The eternal lack of flights tickets, although not expensive, are still suffocating, it's easier to pay a little extra and take a taxi that stands stupidly in front of the bus station itself
It's like I got into the nineties. There are taxi drivers all around. Which they want to promote for a bigger price tag than they really are. There's a queue at the checkout. You've been standing for a long time. The cafe is completely unsanitary, but the price tag is like a restaurant.
Oh, it's the eternal atmosphere of the old town. Just a real personification of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. But the prices are 100% new)))
It was a decent train station , but it was also in the best ones.

I went to Bishkek from this station. Buses are comfortable in principle, they run according to the schedule at 8, 10, 12, 16 and 18 o'clock. But sometimes some of them are canceled. Therefore, it is better to buy physically at the ticket office at the station on the same day, but in advance.
Otherwise, there is a waiting area at the station, but without amenities. The station has not been repaired for a long time, probably.
It's a terrible place! I have never seen the worst bus station in my life!!! Dirt, lack of information, lack of free toilets, if the bus arrives at night, then the bus station is closed for a "stick", people spend the night on the street! They don't announce the shipment!
I sent parcels via buses, there is a collection center, inexpensive and not greedy with tape and markers for signing parcels, everything came in integrity and promptly check-in 200 tenge payment via Caspi
What to say about the legacy of the USSR. If the Kazakhs hadn't built it then, they wouldn't have thought of it themselves. As it was during the adjustment, nothing has changed for the better, it has only gotten worse.
Bus station for intercity flights. It used to be a mess, kiosks and now it's a little better. Outside, kiosks and benches were removed. At the checkout, everything is the old-fashioned way, there is no payment by cards and QR
The bus station is beautiful from the outside.But inside, some of the squares are used unwisely, in my opinion.And more:everything is blocked.Even such an important part of our existence as going to the toilet before a trip becomes a problem
A huge train station, the design of which has been unchanged since Soviet times. There are a lot of shops, few people. The toilet is located in the basement, naturally in a deplorable condition. There are a lot of taxi drivers outside, touts to the nearest cities
Outwardly, it's a creepy place. The bus station itself looks like the scenery for a zombie apocalypse movie, and the audience around it will quite pass for extras for this film. I didn't dare go inside. I did not use the services of this institution. My gut tells me that it's better to avoid this neighborhood altogether

old, of course, but generally a normal bus station.
an inexpensive cafe, while waiting for the bus you can have a snack. pilaf and tea are edible, we haven't tried the rest. payment is true only in cash.
the bus to Bishkek departs according to schedule, a ticket to Bishkek cost 2500tenge. the bus runs every 2 hours. it is better to leave in the morning, because the road is not the best, and driving along an unlit highway in the dark is still an adventure.
a terrible station toilet, probably the worst I've ever seen.
I saw that someone had bought tickets online, but I did not find information where they were bought.
There is no parking. If there is a fee. There are no toilets. Crash thieves work here. Taxi fare in Zharkent has become even more expensive, although the road is 100 km shorter and it has become better.
It 's just such a dirty bus station!!! Wifi has stopped working, there is centuries-old greasy dirt everywhere!!! These benches are about to fall apart
I do not advise you to buy tickets online, it is better to arrive in advance.And the problem is, as always, they schedule departure at 18:00 and have to wait until 19:00, it has already become a habit for them and the bus replenishes people along the way, it is very terrible.
