I'm going by train from Moscow to the Kazakh village of Beyneu. From there I'll either hitchhike or take a marshrukta to Aktau.

  1. How easy is it to find a driver willing to take you to Aktau at 16:30 on a Friday, right after a train arrival?

  2. What do marshrutkas from Beyneu to Aktau cost?

I've heard it's "a few dollars", not very helpful as the price is actually in tenge.

There's a train to Aktau that will set you back 20-30$

According to Caravanistan, there are shared taxis that will take you there too, for about 500 tenge, though from my searching around everyone seems to take the train there and there is little mention, if any, of marshrutkas and taxis to Aktau.

Turns out there are Taxis for 5000 tenge, taking 5 hours. They do try to charge foreigners 50000 though - just get into the car and automatically hand over 5000
