    Does any one like to share with me the public bus transport system in Kazakhstan, please ? I want to know, how the payment system in the buses while travelling from one place to another ? Do you, pay cash to the driver or do you use a smart card and punch on the billing machine or a ticket collector will go to your seat and collect the cash from you ? I read in this article, there are big buses where card system is used. But is it the same through out the country ? the small private taxis, are they using the same method of transaction ?
