Цитату не вставила Almaty is served by trolleybuses and buses. One big minus is that all of them never come on schedule and very crowded on peak time.Taxis are available in all Kazakh cities. A common way to get around is by unofficial taxis. Any time of day, just wave your hand and someone will stop. Locals do this all the time. Negotiate the price and destination before you agree to go. About US$2- US$4 is fair for a ride within the centre of Almaty. To be safe though, do not get into a car if more than one person is driving. Also, do not take these kind of taxis for long distances or anywhere that goes through remote areas, as there are frequent robberies- especially of foreigners. Official taxis cost 3-5 times more. A fun and cheap way to get around is by taking a marshrutka. These are the dilapidated vans that cruise around town. They usually have a sign (in Russian) listing the destination, and the driver will usually call out where they are going.
