Daily Trains to Vladivostok Shaping Up! 🚀🎟️
Hey there! Get ready to hop on board, because starting from January 2025, daily trains from Nizhny Bestakh to Vladivostok are set to become a reality! This tidbit comes straight from JSC "AK "ZHD" and OJSC "RZD".
But that's not all! Daily service from Nizhny Bestakh to Irkutsk and Nizhny Bestakh to Blagoveshchensk will also be maintained, giving Yakutia residents a much-appreciated boost in their daily travel and business trip opportunities. 🏆
The growing demand for passenger rail services from Nizhny Bestakh station is no secret, with the number of passengers transported by JSC "AK "ZHD" surging by a whopping 4.3 times since its humble beginnings. During the first ten months of 2024 alone, a staggering 356,200 passengers were transported, marking an impressive 8.5% increase from the same period the previous year. Passenger turnover also shot up by 12.3% to a staggering 345.97 million pass-km.
The expansion of passenger transfers from Yakutsk to Nizhny Bestakh railway station using river and road transport has also played a significant role in the growth of passenger numbers. With fail-proof delivery even in harsh climatic and weather conditions, planes are reserved for only the most treacherous of journeys. ❄️🛫
Currently, before the ice road opens, passenger transfers across the Lena River from Yakutsk are carried out using hovercraft from the 204th microdistrict (Namyv station), followed by a transfer to buses and delivery to the railway station for train departure. The combined transport from Yakutsk to Nizhny Bestakh railway station will cost you a reasonable 1800 rubles. 💰
