Inaccessible Destinations for Buses in Certain Markets
Heads up, passengers! Some popular bus stops in Astana are momentarily out of service. According to Vechernyaya Astana and TOO "City Transportation Systems," the affected stops include "Orda Bazaar," "Kok Bazaar," and "Magnum Hypermarket."
This unavailability means routes 7, 11, 39, 41, 45, 53, 59, 81, 120, 120A, 307, and 317 won't pick up or drop off passengers at these specific stops temporarily.
In the meantime, it's important to note that the city's public bus system has been experiencing challenges, with the bus-only system experiencing difficulty amid ongoing infrastructure developments, including the introduction of light rail transit[1]. Additionally, there have been broader transport changes in the region and restrictions on heavy freight vehicle movements during the summer months to protect road surfaces and safety[2].
For those who usually use cash to pay for their bus rides, it's worth mentioning that Astana's public buses no longer accept cash payments; passengers must use a CaspiCard or other electronic fare methods[4]. As for alternate transportation options during the disruption or expected timelines for reopening the bus stops, this information seems to be unavailable at the moment.
Given the shortage of specific service disruption details for these particular bus routes and stops in Astana, it's recommended to consult the official Astana city transportation websites or local transit authorities for the most up-to-date information on temporary closures and alternative travel arrangements.
In short, routes 7, 11, 39, 41, 45, 53, 59, 81, 120, 120A, 307, and 317 in Astana have some stops temporarily shut down due to ongoing service disruptions, but the exact stops and duration remain unclear[1][4]. Consulting official local sources is key for accurate and current details.
