Comfortable carriages made in Kazakhstan. Or rather Petropavlovsky. They are already traveling from Almaty to the west, to Mangistau, and to the east, to Ust-Kamenogorsk. Passenger assessment in the material of the Khabar 24 correspondent.
The Almaty-Ust-Kamenogorsk train is one of the first to include new cars. The trip in comfortable conditions pleasantly surprised passengers. Ekaterina Karimova returns from vacation.
He shares that they have never encountered such a level of comfort on the railway before.
Ekaterina Karimova, passenger:
- Wonderful, new carriage! I was surprised that it was made in Kazakhstan. It turns out that the plant is in Petropavlovsk. The car has been completely thought out, down to the smallest detail!
Indeed, the engineers calculated everything. There are 36 seats in one carriage. This is exactly how much can be comfortably and safely placed in 9 compartments, without compromising the freedom of movement of passengers. A new level of comfort is provided by ergonomic sleeping places. There are even TVs and microwaves.
Tamir Karimov, passenger:
- Very cool! Everything is thought out! Even the windows open! There is a refrigerator and a cooler. There's a charger on top, you don't need a unit, you just plug it in and it charges.
The reliability of the cars deserves special mention. Their design is designed to last for 40 years. Moreover, they are 2 times cheaper than their analogues! And they can move at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour. Therefore, the train can cover the route from Almaty to Astana without stopping in just 10 hours.
Zhandos Kayrabaev, passenger:
- It was very nice, a new train! Of course, new is new! Everything was wonderful, comfortable, the toilet was clean!
Production was implemented with the support of the Industrial Development Fund. And the customer was the Passenger Transportation company, the national operator of the railway network.
