The astronauts have been aboarding it since 1998.
The International Space Station was first launched in 1998. It was progressively built in subsequent years, and continues to be added to. The first resident crew went aboard in November 2000 and there has always been people on board since then.
The number of astronauts on the space station can vary, but typically there are 6 astronauts on board the International Space Station at a time.

The early Soyuz and Mercury astronauts found out that man could survive in space. That meant eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, and even manipulating the spacecraft in space. Astronauts on both sides of the Space Race found out in the mid 1960s that man could work outside the spacecraft with proper restraints. Gemini astronauts performed the first rendezvous and docking in space, an important milestone in reaching the moon. The Apollo astronauts achieved the first manned flight to the moon, showing that man can survive a trip through the Van Allen Belt. Apollo 11 showed man could land on the moon and return safely to the earth. Astronauts on Soviet space stations, Mir, Skylab, and the Space Shuttle showed that man can survive in space for months at a time. They also built the International Space Station, and continue making advances in all scientific areas.
Astronauts that work and live and the international space station can have a salary anywhere from $65,000 to $141,000 a year depending on the years of service.

The first rendezvous in space occurred during the Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 missions in December 1965. The two spacecrafts came within a few feet of each other, establishing that space rendezvous was possible and paving the way for future space missions.
In the short term the primary taxi will be the fourth generation 'Russian Soyuz'. As a matter of fact, the Soyuz has been the primary means of transporting astronauts to ISS since 2003. The space shuttles primary role has been hauled up new modules/components for ISS assembly while also providing the occasional crew rotation.
