The demand for trips is increasing due to the updated luxury, VIP, and "VIP-compartment" cars, as well as the extension of the route to the "Balykchy Beach" stop. In 2025, the Bishkek — Balykchy route served 116,122 passengers, which is 131% more compared to the previous year.
From 2022 to 2025, Kyrgyzstan welcomed 27 tourist trains from various regions, including Europe, America, and Asia.
Company representatives noted that they will continue to modernize the rolling stock, improve service quality, and digitize: tickets can be purchased through the website ticket.railway.kg and the railway.kg app.
