Using the metro in 2026
The operator lists daily opening hours from 06:20 to 00:00. A standard smart token costs 120 ₸, and the network currently lists 11 stations from Raiymbek Batyr to B. Momyshuly.
Start with the destination, not the novelty: the metro is excellent for the journeys it actually serves.
Planning your visit
Cash and cashless payment are available at station ticket offices. The operator also lists bank-card POS payment, the Onay transport card and reusable metro smart cards. Keep the token until the gate accepts it and check the current map before setting out.
Child fare
60 ₸ for ages 7–15 with proof of age.
Payment
Smart token, smart card, bank-card POS or Onay.

One line; check the official map for the nearest station.
What to expect
Stations are clean, visually distinctive and easy to combine with walking. A single line cannot reach every attraction, so plan the first and last part of the journey separately.
