Of course, I have been there many times, but it was a long time ago and the airport was different! Starting in September 1977, when I flew to Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, to study at the Vyborg Aviation Technical School named after Marshal Zhavoronkov, in 1980 I graduated with honors and went to work at the airport of local airlines Burundai, where I worked for 5 years. He worked on a business trip and flew from Alma-Ata airport two or three times a month throughout Kazakhstan and beyond. Previously, the airport was cozy, clean, and lots of greenery, both inside and outside the building. Unfortunately, the photos have not been preserved. And I have not been to the new terminal building, but I hope that everything has changed there only for the better!!!
Parking is so-so; toilets are tolerable; staff is half asleep. The waiting room wants the best. There are a lot of incomprehensible personalities in the hall.
The station has been outdated for a long time! The monopolist of KTZ earns so much money, and the "gates" of Almaty are in such a terrible state, all dirty, dark, as if he came to the village and not to the largest city of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Escalators do not work all the time. There are no working elevators for people with limited mobility. In a word, transfer the station to private hands
In general, the dispatchers are generally rude. The mother's room is occupied by the station staff. My wife and daughter were sent to the disabled room.in short, I don't care about the people at all.
Mess, dirt, noise. A bunch of taxi drivers yelling at the entrance, helping on the territory who offer train tickets and send parcels. There is a huge traffic jam in front of the station due to taxi drivers and parking violators. Not a train station but a bazaar a mess
Parking is paid, repairs should be updated, ticket sellers do not allow you to approach the ticket office (they seem to be in cahoots with the cashier) and push a cheaper ticket all the way to you
Excolators do not work, our pensioners have sore knees, elderly people walk hard up the stairs, even the elevators do not work, workers are standing.zh. and waving their hands here it is impossible through the basement, I and all the other elderly barely reached the car, failed to board and the train departed, horror of what and what the management of the railway is doing.The old railway station
We have transformed this part of the city very pleasantly. A beautiful recreation area appeared in front of the station. There is a market nearby, many cafes where the food is tasty and inexpensive. The only inconvenience is in being careful to find your platform in time, since the easiest way is to get to the 1st track, you need to run to the rest either by subway or above-ground crossings. The toilet is paid, despite the availability of a ticket (because of this, I reduce the rating of the review to 4 stars). At the railway station 2, the toilet is more convenient and free.
Convenient placards with information about trains. The sockets are inconveniently located, it is difficult to recharge the devices.
It's dirty, we need to improve the quality of life. People are especially waiting at the train station, they need soft seats, cheap food.
Don't forget about cleanliness.
And it's just dirty, very hard seats, I don't know where they got such prices!
A beautiful train station with a Soviet vibe, but unfortunately it seemed to me poorly adapted to low-mobility citizens, the navigation system is excellent
The station director is probably a Shal, an antediluvian Dinosaur who still uses an old Nokia that has been charging for weeks. Otherwise, it is unclear why in the 21st century he does not have sockets in the waiting room in his building to recharge his phone. Or he: ... (here everyone will add who he is).
A large railway junction station. Several trains are passing, many passengers, different people, from different regions of the country. I liked the station building.
One inconvenience, the passenger cars of the Mangyshlak base do not fit into the existing platforms of the 2nd track, the conductors do not know what to do, they will not be able to open completely, the closed ones are very high, you will have to jump. Another significant drawback is that the train parking time is only 5 minutes, as on deserted sidings, and not in the largest city, you will have to jump on the move, and this is very dangerous. Please wait for the management: take passenger trains to the first platform as far as possible and extend the stop time to 10 minutes, and rebuild the second platform to a safe height
