The opening ceremony was attended by Deputy Akim of the Zhambyl region Altai Ali, veterans, and railway workers.
During the renovation, the station's engineering networks were completely replaced, interior and exterior finishes were updated, and waiting rooms and passenger service areas were put in order.
Special attention was paid to creating a barrier-free environment. For people with disabilities and passengers with children, special waiting areas and necessary conditions for a comfortable stay were equipped.
"I am confident that the station will serve the district's residents and passengers for many years, providing them with comfortable and safe conditions. The implementation of such projects contributes to improving the quality of services and strengthening the transport potential of the region," noted Altai Ali.
According to the regional administration, the Borandy station serves an average of 54 passengers per day. Nine employees work here per shift. The facility receives passengers of both suburban and long-distance trains.
The regional authorities also continue to modernize other railway stations in the region. Work is being carried out in stages at the Turksib, Taraz, Shu, and Otar stations. They are aimed at improving the quality of passenger transportation and developing the transport and logistics infrastructure of the region.
