Hi everyone! Could anyone please tell me if there are any good options to get to Almaty by comfortable bus or marshrutka from Bishkek?
Buses to Almaty depart from the Alma-Atinskaya bus station (1/1) five times a day: at 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, and 18:00. Tickets can be purchased on the tezket kg website, and the fare is 600 som.
As for marshrutkas, people usually take a bus or taxi to the Ak-Jol border checkpoint, cross the border on foot at Korday (Kazakhstan), and then catch a taxi or marshrutka to Almaty from there. It usually turns out to be faster than going by bus.
Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I actually arrived on that exact bus, but it’s not the most comfortable or fastest option
Do you happen to know if the marshrutkas from Korday are any good?
Sorry, can’t really help with that unfortunately.
