Common questions about ҚТЖ

What does ҚТЖ run?

ҚТЖ runs 160 of the Trains routes we sell, calling at 16 places across 1 countries. Those routes come from the published operator catalogue rather than from a list we wrote, so a route only appears here if the carrier actually serves it.

How much do ҚТЖ tickets cost?

The cheapest ҚТЖ fare we sell is €21.79 for one passenger, across 160 routes. The median route runs 376 km in a straight line. Fares include taxes, supplier fees and our service fee, so the figure here is the figure at checkout.

Are ҚТЖ tickets refundable?

ҚТЖ fares are refundable up to two hours before departure and can be changed at no charge, across all 160 routes we sell. The condition is shown again on the offer and once more before you pay, because it is the thing travellers most often get wrong.

What is on board an ҚТЖ service?

ҚТЖ publishes Power sockets, Wi-Fi across its fleet, on the 160 routes we sell. A median journey with this carrier runs about 2h 41m, which is long enough for the difference between a carrier with power sockets and one without to matter.

What is the longest route ҚТЖ runs?

The longest ҚТЖ route we sell runs from Aktobe to Astana, 1,006 km in a straight line. A median journey with this carrier takes about 2h 41m at their typical cruising speed, so the long routes are considerably more than that.

Where does ҚТЖ operate?

ҚТЖ is based in Kazakhstan and runs routes we sell in 1 countries. The places it calls at most often are Almaty, Astana, Balqash. Those are computed from the routes in the catalogue rather than from anything the carrier tells us about its own network.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
