Hitchhiking out
North towards Biysk and Barnaul via R256 ("Chuysky Trakt")
- Bus №120 to the stop "On Request (Chuysky Trakt 431 km)" - the DPS post is directly opposite.
South towards the border with China via R256 ("Chuysky Trakt")
- Bus №132 goes to the village of Ozyornoye. You can try to ask the driver to stop at the turnoff from the Chuysky Trakt. If the driver refuses, get off at the previous stop in the village of Manzherok.
East towards Turochak and Artybash via the "Teletsky Trakt" road
- Buses № 105, 106, 111С, 115, 151, 53 to the "Kyzyl-Ozyok (final)" stop. №111 and 115 go several more kilometers along the route, but they do not stop at the turn.
