The national carrier has launched women's carriages on three more popular routes: Astana-Semey, Aktobe-Almaty, Almaty-Shymkent. Previously, carriages were on 8 routes, now their number has been increased to 11, which confirms the growing demand and importance of the service for passengers. Trains with women's carriages:

Women's carriages were introduced in 2021 in order to improve the comfort of women during travel. The cost of tickets for travel in such carriages does not differ from the usual one, which makes the service accessible to everyone. However, tickets for women's carriages are sold exclusively to women; boys
under the age of seven can travel with them. Only women work as conductors in such carriages.

Since the launch of the service, about 342 thousand women have purchased tickets for women's carriages, which confirms their popularity and demand.

Tickets for the new routes of women's carriages can be purchased on the website bilet.railways.kz and at the ticket offices of JSC "Passenger Transportation" at railway stations. In the absence of tickets, passengers can use the free "Waiting List" service.
