Minus, there are few ticket offices that are free to hand over tickets. Some are commercial.
Minus a very dirty toilet in the station building.
Another disadvantage is that it is impossible to get off the train to the station platform when several trains arrive. Going up the passage is still that extreme. In winter, the icy steps prepare you for hospitalization.
Of the advantages, a stop nearby is no problem to go anywhere.
The train station is like a train station. The architecture has been well preserved since Soviet times - a kind of architectural antiques. The toilet is so- so- a hole in the floor.
Of course, the strength of the station is its proximity to the city center. Everything else is like at many railway stations in the country. We need some kind of feature that would be remembered and would be the highlight of the capital station.
It's cold and not cozy. It smells like a small train station, when it is opened only for the departure time of the train, it does not look like a place from where satisfied guests of the city leave🥺
Everything is fine, but the employees are mistreated, although not all employees are like that. I'm disabled and they treated me badly. I would like to improve the quality of service for the disabled
There are no smoking rooms (is it difficult to make near the tracks?), the land crossings are good, but they need to be done, the GDR wagons of 1993, the air conditioners did not work in the carriage. I do not recommend smoking in the wrong places, the police officers are very attentive. I liked the conductors, special thanks, the cars are clean. In general, it's time to build a new train station, and make one lane at the entrance to the station non-stop for cars, and the second specifically with a stop of up to 5 minutes (for unloading luggage, disembarking or boarding passengers)
we went to buy a Ticket from Almaty to Uralsk and decided to take it From Uralsk to Saratov as it was 2 times cheaper, but the cashier was rude and sent us to the forest! if there are such tickets, then why should I overpay twice as much?!
A classic train station. It's sad to see you off, it's fun to meet you. Emotions are rather positive, there were no problems with parking, it is clear that the processes are working. The territory is clean. And about the sore point - buy bmlets in advance! 😉
The staff does not find fault, they talk politely. They stop on the platforms for only 5 minutes at most. And so 2 minutes in total. And everyone wants to get out because it's very stuffy in the car.
Almaty is the city of my youth and the very first place I visited was the second railway station. It's a pity that he already looks so shabby. Every time I come here, I feel the joy of returning to my friends and fall into the happy memories that this city has given me
A good historical center, it beckons with beauty, but there is only one ticket office inside and there is a queue for it, and they try to sell tickets only for a week (if they don't buy blot ones), the rest just to sell them at a higher price.
Everything is clear , the toilets are free , a good exchanger .

The station building was very modern at the time of construction. Beautiful, not very big, cozy. It was built in 1930- 1940. Pieces of the old building are still preserved on the territory of the station. Thanks to TURKSIB, a new building was built, which still greets and accompanies people every day. The area around the station has been cleared not very long ago. There was no park before. I really like this place in the city.
The train station used to be more convenient. Although the plus is that the transport was divided into lanes. It's a pity that there are no pointers really where which bus or trolleybus is suitable.
A completely ill-thought-out toilet. One at the very end of the building. I have four bags. I'm alone. There is no one to look after things. Train 105 was more than 4 hours late on June 30. And what should I do? Few. The fact that I put up with going to the toilet for more than 4 hours, so I also arrived 2 hours before the train, because I was waiting for a reservation!!! How many kind words do you think I said to everyone who came up with such a layout and to the station chief? Are you all bullying people? And you're also asking for my opinion??? Is it hard for you to think for yourself? Or are you specifically interested in making fun of people like me!!!???
Almaty-2 railway station ? Today, this structure and the functionality itself are just a memory of something warm and better. Parking spaces are available only thanks to a nearby trading house. Half of the station, where there were ticket offices, is not working. The exterior of the former metropolitan railway station is lost. This attitude, I'm not ashamed of the word, to put it mildly, is vandalism...
The transition to the promto path is terrible. All the steps are broken, it is impossible not to fall, especially the boy who fell there. The administration should not spoil the impression of the city from the very first step and the train station.
Hello, everyone. The station staff are great, they always give an escort, I am a disabled person of the 1st group, and I cannot move on my own without help, they provide a wheelchair and deliver it to my seat, 10 stars if there were, I would put 10. Well done guys are so polite and responsive 💪respect them all 💪💪💪
There is no parking, constant traffic jams... There is paid parking on the side of the Altyn Taraz shopping center. But the fact that there is a 1.5 meter strip in front of the train station for disembarking people is of course a laugh and a sin, after all, in the name of a large metropolis! A train station that serves more than 1 million people. Even in the regions of Kazakhstan, parking in front of train stations is much more convenient
It's just a horror if you come by car to meet someone or have no place to park, you ride in circles, for such a city, you could have already built something bigger and more modern, with a parking area.
A beautiful Soviet-era railway station. But unfortunately, at the moment it is in a very unsightly state. I would like to have a better attitude towards him! Everyone is busy with business, but they forgot about the train station...
By itself, Almaty is a good city, but at the local station there is a special atmosphere, I came across such a nuance, when you leave the station, then some marginals who stand next to the station are not officially employed, profit from the visitors of this wonderful city due to the expense of visitors, offering their help with finding an apartment convenient for your price or convenient for your budget, comfortable in your opinion, or take it somewhere, imposing your own at an inflated price by local standards, and I stumbled upon this. I came with a limited budget when I left for this city. And one person imposed his service on me, I asked to find an apartment based on my budget, because he came up to me, so he took me to several places where prices did not match my budget, then at the airport in Alma-Ata he found an apartment acceptable for my price, and then demanded another ten thousand from me tenge, although initially we agreed on two thousand tenge, but he referred to the fact that I had run out of limit, I refused to pay him ten thousand tenge, explaining that he began to get impudent, he began to run over me, I thought that I would have to defend myself against this man, but in the end he let me go, I took my things and went about my business, when I returned back to the Russian Federation, there a woman came up to me at the train station and imposed her office for the purchase of cigarettes and took me to her man, I did not withdraw the entire amount from the card and she explained that I could book a ticket leaving five thousand tenge, but as a result, I returned to buy a ticket and, just in case, I consulted other cashiers for the price, to which the woman began to dissuade me, directly saying that these were her competitors of her office, but in the end I bought a ticket from this woman, but before buying that woman at the station asked me to give the cashier 1000 tenge Then I decided to leave 500 tenge to that cashier and even this is a woman who says that she is the manager of this office brazenly begged 1000 tenge for herself, I refused to give her, to which she said that normal Muslims would give her if she asked for 1000 tenge "for her hard work", but her behavior even it was not close to Muslim, dear residents of Almaty and visitors from other cities of Kazakhstan who are real Muslims, explain to this woman how a real Muslim woman should behave if she throws such words, but in general the atmosphere is excellent, the people of Almaty and Kazakhstan are mostly pleasant, friendly, easy to engage in dialogue, themselves Russian russians take the initiative, offering their help in case of anything, I have not observed such a friendly atmosphere in my country, no one told me that I had come, I did not feel like I was in another country, everyone speaks Russian, but almost all the inscriptions are in their national language and in Russian, local residents of Kazakhstan Russian Russians are more worried about Russia than the Russians themselves. But the train station is an autonomous place from Almaty. I will have a request to the local authorities of Almaty, so that they would put things in order at the Almaty 2 train station, so that citizens who do not legally make money by profiting from illegal actions on visitors would not be engaged, but in general the city left positive impressions. I would put the 1st place after Peter. And Almaty showed two visitors, I advised them to be more vigilant and not stumble upon the mistakes of some arrogant illegally earning profiteers who not only overestimate the value, but also ask them to spend more money in a few minutes prematurely, there are other nuances that I thank God did not encounter
Very convenient Parking, the location in the city is good, the staff is quite responsive and will always help, there are almost no queues, the toilet is in terrible condition, it is quite easy to move along the platforms
The railway station is clean both inside and outside,there is lighting,advertising is always at hand taxi, everything is in motion.In general, well done 100b.
The place is not designed for a large number of people. The building and the vocals as a whole are very outdated. Unfortunately, this is not the level for a large metropolis
Traffic jams at any time of the day, the staff is 50/50 friendly, the repair is modern, the toilets are clean, the platforms are conveniently located, at the ticket offices, this is a separate topic, spoil all the positive impression, cashiers, 2 or 3 out of 10 cashiers are open, the queue is slowly letting the customer go, so the impression is positive.
One toilet for the whole station. Women even go to the men's room. To get to the third and fourth paths, you need to: 1) run to the crossing 200 meters from the exit to the platform, with no escalator, etc. 2) try to slip between the trains on the first and second tracks. Bottom line: elderly people, people with sore legs, passengers with luggage - none of the options are suitable.
Everything has been beautifully updated . Awesome But they almost missed the train, because they did not announce why it was late and that they had filed for boarding.
Our train station, I like to meet and see off guests,

I got into the repair of the platform and crossings. It will probably be better! But it seems that the waiting room is too small. All the shops were closed early in the morning. So it didn 't work out to buy a snack for the road .
One of my favorite railway stations in the country.
There is everything for the upcoming road.
However, the station needs renovation and an additional waiting room.
You can always find the necessary information in the help desk, with politeness and without rudeness!
Hello. I want to explain why I put the "three" of the railway station 2. Literally from December 22 to December 23, a couple of days ago. I was seeing my family off and I started looking for a mother and child room at the railway station. The pointer led me to the second floor, but I searched in vain for my wife and children (my son is 6 years old, my daughter is 3 years old)He can spend time in the warmth before boarding the train. Feed the children, change diapers. Since the train leaves at 11.48 p.m. That night, the train was delayed for half an hour. All my efforts to find this room turned out to be fruitless.But on the second floor there is a hotel where you can rent a room for a fee. I do not know if they rent it by the hour or not, but the woman working there told me that there is no mother and child room at the station."Instead, this hotel may allow you to change diapers and breastfeed your baby. And they don't provide a room. Here is the KTZ guide, your concern is not about your passengers, but about your food, how to fill your car more, And let mothers with children look for a place in the common waiting room. The shame and shame of this state-owned company, mind you. And where is the anti-corruption agency located? Why are such rooms provided in shopping malls and polyclinics?,and at the railway stations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, no. Or have railway stations, like many things in Kazakhstan, already secretly passed into private hands? I'm sorry for such an emotional response, but this issue concerns not only me and my family, but all sensible Kazakhstanis. Thanks
All my visits to Almaty started from this station.and there are many apartments for rent, many catering establishments, and if you want to take a walk in the evening-tsum and Arbat
