I would like to note the transformation of the Sairan bus station in terms of architectural and historical significance.
After all, it was a landmark place in the city of Almaty, for visitors and those leaving.
There was a time before, I remember what a good new bus station it was. It was called the new one. For how many years they wanted to refit it, they almost made a bazaar out of it.
As it was there for the horrors, so it remains. Akim of the city 2 sit down . Everything stinks terribly. I don 't understand these Akims , they 're fat , they 've lost their ass , they can do something for the city . What the hell did he study for once stupid.
It looks like a big bus station, but there are no exchangers there. There is nowhere to eat. Almaty is a beautiful city, but the train station is not very
I came there from another city. And this place, as a rule, made the first impression. To be honest, many bus stations have become a little empty, but they still work. The building is large, there is a bus stop nearby. People are sociable so that it's not scary to ask for directions. But most of all I liked the roses. There is a very beautiful flowerbed there. I can't describe it exactly, since I've only been there once. But it's clean, but it wouldn't hurt to have a little renovation.
Cyran, whom we all love. Every resident of Almaty and guests of our city, Everyone has left for different directions of our country at least once. And he's still the same, he doesn't change
Good evening! Today, on August 13, the flight Almaty-Barlyk-Arasan, scheduled for 22:00, was canceled. When there were 10 minutes left, and there was no bus, we started asking the staff about where the bus was, they couldn't answer our question clearly, they just faced the fact that there would be no flight. For my part, I can say that we arrived 20 minutes before the start of boarding, and the flight was canceled without explaining the reason properly, one employee says that only 4 people bought tickets, and the second - that the bus broke down. Here, at least in a human way, without inventing, it would be possible to explain the situation. Wouldn't we have understood? If at least they offered another option of a hitchhiking flight, we would go on it, because the vacation that was booked is being disrupted. If we hadn't approached and asked, your staff wouldn't have bothered to announce it. This stress is not enough to make a refund, since the ticket was purchased in advance and paid for with a card, but it was not with me, I had to wait a little for it to be brought, so this cashier allows herself to make a sharp comment in my direction, saying "if they had paid in cash, there would not have been such a problem!". Dear administration, there would be no such problem with the refund at all if you treated your work responsibly! In addition to the above, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the refund of the amount paid is not carried out in full, a fee of 600 tenge is charged for 3 tickets, although paragraph 10 of the section "On ticket refunds" indicates that the refund is carried out in 100% amount. Do you think this is reasonable, given the circumstances when a mistake was made on your part? If it is unprofitable for you to leave, at least have the conscience to make a full refund! God forbid I use your services again! It's just darkness, disorganization, unsanitary conditions and complete incompetence! I do not advise anyone to use the services of the Sairan bus station, it is better to take a commercial bus or minibus, they will at least be interested in taking you to your destination.
The Almaty - Kordai route was removed in the pandemic. It was never restored. Although the route is popular. A lot of people go to Issyk - Kul, Bishkek.
The only and not the same bus station with a large number of destinations, even international flights are available to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China, there are many taxis in any direction, if you need to go between cities, you are here, you can go anywhere from here if you do not want to go by train or plane
In principle, it's not bad, only paying for tickets in cash, they don't take Caspi, but there is a Caspi ATM! The staff is attentive, everything was explained and shown!
Everything is terrible, I don't even really want to comment on it. Everyone spits, swears, and whistles like savages after them, as if they had never seen the girls! I won't say anything about cleanliness either…
The cafe is expensive, there are no phone charging ports, the staff is polite, clean and there is no queue, yes, the toilet is clean, only there is no soap.
