Specifically, the bus station is absolutely not functional, I came to clarify which minibus / gazelle goes to Sayakhat, but they prompted
But not after 30 minutes, not after 1 hour!!! We did not go, I clarified 1 time with the driver, he ignored me
The second time I persistently asked, I only found out that I had to wait until the minibus / gazelle filled up. Not only did they waste time, no one informs them that they need to wait so long. It is easier to hitch a ride (if it is light), if not, then it is better to take the train to Almaty-1 or Almaty-2 station at 5 a.m.
I do not advise you to waste time here, the only way is to successfully catch a taxi
Plus, the woman who makes the announcement that there is a boarding to Sayahat bus station is rude to questions about when we will go , although this is her job
I didn't take the shuttle buses.private traders (touts) are standing next to the bus station, pulling three skins!!! It is better to go by Yandex taxi, with fellow travelers, cheaper and more comfortable, and the car is in the best condition
