GARE DE L’OUEST (ZAPADNY AVTOVAGZAL)

Departures to Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Kyrgyzstan: Cholpon-Ata, Karakol, Naryn, Talas. Buses and minibuses follow one another inside the station, while shared taxis are confined to the back or the entrance. There are no buses to Osh, as the road is too dangerous. There are some shared taxis here, but they also meet near the Osh bazaar, closer to the city center. Negotiation is the order of the day with the taxis, which see the tourist arriving from afar.
