After taking your flight from Antalya Airport, Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport to Bishkek Manas International Airport, transportation from the airport to Bishkek city centre is relatively easy thanks to different modes of transportation.
There is only one public transport option to travel to/from Bishkek Manas International Airport, the marshrutka line 380. This public transport line travels between the airport and Osh bazaar, which is considered one of the most central locations in Bishkek downtown. In addition to marshrutka, arranging a transfer by taxi, car rental, or private transfer service is possible.
Bishkek has a relatively limited public transport option, but marshrutkas and buses in the city cover almost all districts. The same limited options can be seen in other cities of Kyrgyzstan as well. While the locals mostly use these two modes of transportation, travellers from other countries might opt for shared taxis or regular taxis. There are a total of 17 bus lines and 11 trolleybus lines in Bishkek. The trolleybus lines cover the most central areas of the city, and marshrutkas are the only way to the suburban areas.
In general, marshrutkas are incredibly crowded, and it is hard to find a place to get on the vehicle. If you plan to use marshrutkas to move around Bishkek or other Kyrgyz cities, you might need to have cash in your pocket. The fee for the travel is paid in cash when you enter the marshrutka.
There is no travel card for tourists in Bishkek and Kyrgyzstan in general. Travellers can buy bus, tram, and trolleybus tickets like the locals and use the public transportation lines across the country. The marshrutkas, a common mode of transportation across Kyrgyzstan, sometimes accept cash. So, travellers who plan to use marshrutkas in any of the cities in Kyrgyzstan should carry some money to pay for their ride.

The Bishkek – Moscow, and Tashkent – Bishkek – Balykchy train line, which only operates during summer, are the two most popular train routes to travel to other cities around Kyrgyzstan.
