Addressing the Call Center of Kaktus.media, residents expressed dissatisfaction regarding the lack of public transport.

***

- We live on Auezov Street between the neighborhoods "Tunguch" and "Alamedin-1". The buses that used to go to "Dordoi Motors" and "Kirkmostrom" have been removed. We have to transfer. Previously, routes No. 166 and No. 137 operated, but they were canceled without any alternatives. We request the restoration of route No. 35 through Auezov Street or the introduction of a new bus. Transport to the final stop "Tunguch" comes very rarely.

- Is it possible to organize a route from "Kirkmostrom" to the 8th and 9th neighborhoods? Previously, bus No. 9 ran, but it has also been removed. All routes seem to go only to the Orto-Sai market, which causes us dissatisfaction.

***

- Residents of the "Alamedin-1" neighborhood are asking for the return of route No. 29, which previously operated. We would also like to restore buses No. 147 and No. 220, which connected "Alamedin-1" with "Jalal" and "Ala-Too," respectively. It has become extremely difficult to get home in the evening, especially after work or school. Waiting for transport takes a long time, and the trips themselves resemble rides in overcrowded minibuses.

***

- We are addressing you on behalf of the residents of Manas, Vasiliev, Kyzyl-Kiy and other streets. Is it possible to launch a new route from the "Kolmo" new building along Mahatma Gandhi Street to the 8th neighborhood, as well as along Kokchetavskaya, Manas, and Bayalinov streets? We are left without reliable transport. People are forced to walk to Molodaya Gvardiya or Togolok Mold to reach Sovetskaya. The intervals of the current buses leave much to be desired. Why are the opinions of residents not taken into account when distributing public transport?

Response from the Mayor's Office

The press service of the mayor's office explained that routes No. 36 and No. 105 connect the neighborhoods "Tunguch" and "Alamedin-1". The temporarily changed route is related to the reconstruction of the bridge on Auezov Street. Additionally, route No. 7 also operates here. Buses No. 35 and No. 45 provide a connection between "Kirkmostrom" and the 8th neighborhood.

The Municipal Enterprise "Bishkek City Transport" adds that as a result of the administrative-territorial reform conducted in 2024, the area and population of the capital have significantly increased. 23 villages and five settlements from the Chui region have been incorporated into the city, which has led to a threefold increase in the city's area and a population growth of 113.8 thousand people.

The previously received number of buses did not take into account such a sharp increase in population.

In the near future, after the arrival of new buses, it is planned to increase the number of trips on existing routes and open new directions.

Also, the Municipal Enterprise "Bishkek City Transport" notes that the current route scheme is organized in such a way that with one transfer, residents can get from any point in the city to any other.
