A video reminding residents and guests of the capital about a budget-friendly and convenient way to travel between the city's two railway stations has gained popularity on social media. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Kursiv LifeStyle explains how to get from one point to another quickly and economically.
The price
The price is just 250 tenge, which is significantly cheaper than a taxi ride. A city bus costs 110 tenge, but the train allows you to bypass all city traffic jams and congestion.
Travel time and schedule
The trip takes about 30–45 minutes. As users and the video's author note, the trains run on a specific schedule, so it is better to check the current timetable before traveling on the carriers' official websites or at railway ticket offices.
Discussion in the comments
In the comments, Astana residents are actively discussing this life hack. Many admit they did not even know such a route existed, while others note that it is a great way to save time and money during rush hour.
"Cool," "I didn't know," "Great! Thank you, my child loves trains, so we will definitely take a ride," users write.
Earlier, Kursiv reported that the reconstruction of the "new" part of the capital's Astana-1 station complex should be completed by the end of October 2026. This became known during an inspection of the facility by Vice Minister of Transport Zhanibek Taizhanov.
