Central Asia - Kazakhstan - Almaty Metro
As I mentioned in my first post on Kazakhstan I had a chance to use the Metro in Almaty. I was very impressed - clean and efficient with trains arriving every 10-15 mins. Air conditioned as well, a bonus in the long, hot summers.
The Almaty Metro was opened on 1 December 2011, after more than 23 years of construction. It is only 11.3km in length but a joy to travel on with each station beautifully adorned with murals.
The metro system became the second metro in Central Asia, after the Tashkent Metro in Uzbekistan, which I visited later in the tour.
