When I was there Uber was far and away the best way to get about. The taxis are expensive and don't like doing short runs. Buses are good, load the ONAY app, shows you which buses go where and when and it's only 80 Tenge (may have gone up!) for any distance, very cheap! The subway stations are awesome and well worth the journey just to see those, but there's only about 12 on the entire metro so limited use for getting round.
Doing the "Gypsy cab" (hailing passing cars) isn't recommended unless you speak Russian, you never know who you're getting into a car with, and you could easily get ripped off or worse.
