You can see the movement of public transport in the online mode through the application "Onay". In addition, since August, users of the application have the opportunity to pay for travel through a QR code.

During the working visit, Almaty’s governor Bauyrzhan Baybek also examined new buses purchased by private carriers to serve a number of routes connecting the center with remote areas of the city.

Thus, the carrier Madina LLP purchased 12 low-floor Yutong buses to service the route No. 72. Kiikbay LLP has updated rolling stock on route No. 13. To this end, 20 units of low-floor ISUZU buses were purchased.

The head of the city noted that if the priority task was to update the bus fleet and over 3 years purchased more than 1,100 units of public transport, now it is necessary to ensure the high quality of service for citizens.

“Grants will receive only those carriers that provide quality services and update the fleet. Subsidy agreements provide for quality control instruments for violations of which penalties are provided. Only in 9 months, carriers did not receive nearly 330 millions tenge of subsidies for not observing the regularity of exits, ”said Bauyrzhan Baybek.

It should be noted that on the eve of this, the drivers of public transport in Almaty received the first sets of a new uniform form. At the moment, 400 drivers have already been dressed at the expense of car parks. The winter version, which is now distributed among drivers, consists of trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, a sweatshirt or a pullover, and a warm jacket.
