However, in connection with its need for residents of Zhetysu district, the Department of Passenger Transport and Highways of the city decided to resume the route following from the railway station "Almaty-1" - Osipenko-Zhansugurov-Ryskulov Avenue - Kuderina-Rozybakiev Street - Al-Farabi avenue with the final one at the Arman bus station.

16 new low-floor buses of ecological class Euro-5 equipped with air-conditioners, ramps, CCTV cameras were allocated for maintenance of the route organized by "Almatytelektrans" LLP.

As the head of the Office of Passenger Transport and Highways Maksut Isakhov noted the expected passenger flow on this route about 10 thousand people a day.

"On the whole, the threshold of one million transactions per day is covered by cards" ONAY ", An increase of 50 thousand transactions indicates that the increase in routes and the renewal of rolling stock, coupled with other elements of transport reform, increased the number of people using public transport", M.Isakhov said.
