Last year, traffic was restored on 11 socially significant inter-district (intercity intra-regional) routes that were closed in 2020 due to the pandemic. Particular attention was paid to the prospective development of urban bus transportation.

Akimat of the city of Karaganda together with the Transport holding of Almaty since December 1 last year launched the system of electronic ticketing "Onay" on the intracity routes of the regional center. This is a significant step in improving the quality of passenger transportation services.

At the moment, about 170,000 trips are made daily in a non-cash way through electronic ticketing, which is 60% of the total traffic volume. In order to further increase non-cash trips, ensure transparency in the circulation of funds and encourage the population to switch to electronic payment cards, it is planned to introduce a differentiated tariff.

Since the beginning of 2021, according to numerous requests from the population of the Zhezkazgan region, the frequency of running the Karaganda-Zhezkazgan railway connection No. 609/610 has been increased to a daily basis. This made it possible to completely solve the issue of stable transport communication between this region and the regional center.

As far as civil aviation is concerned.

Flights were organized on the intra-regional air communication Karaganda-Zhezkazgan.
