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?

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.
