Michael HLeft 20 minutes late. No bathrooms at Almaty bus station and super grumpy staff. Bus was comfortable but slow and stopped for 20 minute toilet break halfway. Confusing border crossing (grab a Yandex once you clear customs rather than wait for the bus)

Richard ADid what it says on the box, got from point A to point B. close to unbearably hot hence the rating. bring a fkn lot of water. you’ll be sweating through whatever clothes you decide to wear.
Side note; no way to contact them afterwards so make sure you don’t leave anything on board. left my glasses and i’ll never see them again.

Laura GThe bus broke down and the driver left us locked in the bus with no A/C and 42°C outside. He let us out after 15 minutes when passengers started panicking and knocking on the windows. Then he just left. He abandoned us on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. We had to hitchhike to the border then to our destination.

Ellen II wouldn’t recommend going when it’s very hot outside. The bus had some kind of aircon but it helped very little. It was one sweaty trip. We left from Almaty 20 minutes behind schedule. Some guy had taken our seats but the driver told him to move 👍 We stopped by a shop halfway for a toilet break and snacks. The bus seemed to have some issues after the break, it kept shaking and the driver had to slow down and go really slow when it went uphill. Maybe it was overheated, after all it was almost 40 C outside. Thankfully, the bus didn’t break down. We arrived at the border after five hours. This was on a Thursday at 5pm and the crossing went smooth, there was no line and the border buildings had pleasant aircon. We took a Yandex taxi from the border to our hotel. There are people selling SIM cards on the Kirgiz side if you need. We had prepared eSIMs.

Randall SBooked two tickets for bus 701 Almaty to Bishkek via 12GO and it worked! The bust attendant checked our PSF tickets and everything went smoothly. I advise booking in advance despite reviews indicating reviewer rocked up to bus station morning of and bought tickets. We were on an 8am bus in a Saturday in July and the bus was fully booked. This specific bus had aircon, which was helpful. The bust attendant stopped halfway for a toilet and snack break. Prepare 100 Tenge coins before you depart Almaty or yikes! At the border the bus drops off all passengers and we collected all of our luggage and had to walk through immigration. We never saw the bus again, nor did we wait for it. We booked a ride from the border to Bishkek via Yandex Go and it cost ~ US$7.

Eric KGo straight to platform 2 with your pdf ticket. No need to check in. You cross the border by foot, the bus takes quite a while to cross but you can catch a Yandex or a different bus into town, it's only another 30 minutes away.

Alana FThe bus did not drop off at the western bus station instead it went to a apparently new bus station. This was very annoying as we had booked a hotel next to the western bus station so had to pay $12 to get a taxi to our hotel. We were greeted with taxi Touts who over charged for their services.
Also there was no instructions for the boarder crossing and 4 people were left behind as no clear place to meet bus on other side.
