Public transport in Kazakhstan
Do you ever take public transport around Kazakhstan? What is your favourite way to travel and why?

Kazakhstan is the ninth biggest country in the world – around 2.7 million km2. Towns and cities can be very far apart, so it can take a long time to travel from one place to another. This means transport is very important in Kazakhstan. So how do people get around?
In the cities, you can travel by bus, tram or taxi. Taxis are very popular in cities like Almaty and Astana – most cars are ‘taxis’ here as drivers will usually stop if you wave your hand, but I is safest to take an official taxi.
The most popular way to travel across the country is by train. There is around 14, 000 km of railway in Kazakhstan and most large towns have a train station. Rail travel is fairly cheap, and you can enjoy the beautiful views of Kazakhstan’s countryside. Many trains also have beds, so you can sleep comfortably if the journey is very long.
The fastest way to travel is by air. There are around 20 commercial airports in Kazakhstan and flying is the best way to get to another city if you are in a hurry, although it is also the most expensive. The biggest airport is in Almaty. Be careful if you want to fly from Astana to Almaty at the weekend, as tickets are sell very quickly.
