Getting Around
How to get to and from Manas International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at BSZ
Manas International Airport is connected to Bishkek and the wider Kyrgyzstan transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Express Bus 153 runs overnight departures (around midnight, 3am, and 5am); Minibus 380 runs to Beyshenaliyeva, about 40 minutes.
The official airport taxi tariff is about 1,000 som (comfort car) to 1,200 som (minivan) to downtown, roughly 30-60 minutes depending on traffic; a traveler reported paying around 850 som (~$10) via a ride-hailing app on a weekday.
Uber does not operate in Kyrgyzstan; Yandex Go is the practical ride-hailing option, with inDrive (bid-based) as a secondary choice.
No confirmed car rental service was found for this airport in research.
Set up a ride-hailing app and verify your phone number before traveling, since SMS verification codes may not arrive once abroad; carry som cash as a backup since foreign card payments have reportedly sometimes failed.
