The trams service in Alma-Ata began in 1937. During the USSR in city was 10 tram routes, and depot totaled 205 cars of manufacture RVR, Riga and Ust-Katav carload factory (Chelyabinsk region). In connection with construction of a line of underground in 1995 many routes liquidated, rails have removed from streets, having started up instead of them trolley buses. Now in Alma-Ata operates 2 tram routes on which ply 50 tram cars of the Czech manufacture brought to us after several years of operation in Berlin. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Contrary to comments by ianrmillard that the train is dirty and full of drunks (after admitting to not having used it) I would like to have all who are interested know it was NOT dirty nor full of drunks when we rode from Almaty to Moscow as one of the final legs of a trip through several "Stans".
Contrary to that it was surprisingly decent, thought not a luxury trip. Those interested can see our weblog of the Stans Trip by going to http://www.rubbercow.com/dispatch and clicking on August 2006 for the start of the whole trip, or on http://www.rubbercow.com/dispatch/?m=200609&paged=2 to go straight to the page with the train ride post on it.
The train car had two crew members living on board with you, so it was not a free for all. They kept the toilets clean. I'd say some Russian language or Kazahk would be a plus (NO ENGLISH) but as a cultural experience, it way outweighs the negatives. Theme: Train

Well there's buses that have been converted to be electrical trams...
Or trains to other cities..
Or in a friend's car..
Any car can be a taxi...just ask how much..expect to pay more if you speak English
Roads are always busy so look left, right, then left.....before crossing. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
