This year, large-scale work is underway in Almaty to create a convenient and environmentally friendly transport system for residents and visitors of the city. During the year, the city implemented a number of important projects aimed at improving transport infrastructure, greening passenger transport and increasing road capacity. In particular, 25 km of new roads were built, the Kuldzhinsky tract was expanded to 6 lanes, 250 km of roads on 255 streets were repaired on average, 770 gas buses and 115 electric buses were purchased.
Expansion of the Kuldzhinsky tract from four to six lanes: This project has doubled the capacity of the section from 40,000 cars per day to 80,000. In addition, barrier fences were installed along the edges of the road, lighting and drainage poles were moved from the roadway.
Modernization of highways: In 2024, work traffic was opened at the Saina–Monke bi interchange and the radial punching of Abai Ave. A cloverleaf interchange at the intersection of Saina and Monke Bee streets is being organized in order to reduce the traffic load on two major highways at the exit from BAKAD.
In addition, work continues on punching Sain Street from Ryskulov Avenue in the direction of the 3.2 km long interchange under construction. The punching should reduce the traffic load from Momyshuly Street by a third. The akimat plans to build a road with three lanes in each direction, with sidewalks and bike paths.
Next year, 35 km of new roads will be built, and an average repair of 300 km of roads is planned. Transport connectivity will be ensured by the introduction of the Seifullin–Zhansugurov interchange, the punching of 2 radial and 2 main streets.
The construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of Seifullin Avenue and Zhansugurova Street will increase the capacity along Seifullin Avenue by 15-20%, along Zhansugurova Street – by 15%.
These works will increase the share of high-quality roads from 92% in 2024 to 95% in 2025.
Efficient public transport: Improving the state of atmospheric air remains one of the most important issues on the agenda of the Akimat. Today, 60% of polluting emissions come from road transport.
The work carried out by the akimat is aimed at encouraging citizens to switch to public transport, ensuring its efficiency. As a result of these measures, in 2024, the number of trips by public transport reached a record high – an increase of 33%, to 1.6 million trips per day.
In 2024, 770 gas buses and 115 electric buses were purchased for environmental protection. Due to this, the average service life of buses has been reduced from 6 years to 2.5 years. The purchase of 112 trolleybuses made it possible to upgrade the trolleybus fleet by 100%.
In total, passenger traffic increased by 33% to 1.6 million transactions per day in 2024.
Next year, 800 gas buses and 260 electric buses will be purchased, which will reduce the average service life to 2 years.
Increasing suburban routes: Almaty, as the center of the Almaty agglomeration, is extremely interested in ensuring close transport connectivity. This year, 20 new suburban routes have been organized.
In 2025, it is planned to introduce a new tariff menu for public transport and new Subsidy Rules with the transition to the "Bus/km" principle. The tariff revision will allow for the introduction of free transfers, various tariff plans, and limited and unlimited travel, which will be beneficial to the public.
