On business. We had to leave Bishkek for Alma-Ata. We read a lot of reviews, we were a little afraid. But we decided to try it. We arrived the day before the trip, bought a ticket at the ticket office of the bus station for 600 som for 8-00 the next day. I need a passport.
The next day we arrived at 7:30, everything is fine, the bus is in place. The tickets were checked. We got in and drove off. We reached the border, crossed the border on foot, and went on by another bus. We bought a SIM card at the border without any problems for soma. You can change the money. The driver of the second bus was traveling with us from the very beginning from Bishkek. The buses are normal, it's quite warm. It was -10 outside.
A normal bus station. The most ordinary one. In the morning, the exchangers near the train station are closed for a putter. I won't say anything negative. Their website really sucks, but you can get to the bottom of the pillar.
There is information that the bus may be delayed or even canceled just because of the weather (snow in the mountains is no joke). Consider the forecast. We had at most 1/3 of the people on the bus, and nothing happened - let's go.

I think no one needs the bus station anymore, neither the authorities nor the people. Put a cash register stall next to it and grab it. It will cover all needs

If you are traveling to Almaty, you can buy tickets only at the train station. Payment in cash. There is no ATM at the train station, only in the nearest Asia supermarket. The cashier's working hours are 7-19 with lunch. There is a luggage room, but it was not used (information on the photo).

The station itself is good, but it is inconvenient to come (leave) by public transport. There are a lot of homeless and drunk people

I think stagnation has remained in this bus station since Soviet times. However, the buses are gorgeous.
