citing Kun.uz .
Reportedly, the first work on the organization of tram traffic
in the city has begun: work is underway to return former drivers
and attract specialists from abroad. In particular, experts from
Turkey and the Czech Republic are invited.
“First, all taxi and bus routes in Tashkent will be mapped and
crowded places will be identified. The old experience is not
applicable today: the urban infrastructure has changed, there are
areas with a large population flow. I cannot reveal all the plans
right now because the project hasn't been completed yet. On the
other hand, it is not yet clear which streets the tram will pass
through. As I said, the analysis is not finished yet,” source
said.
It should be recalled that during his visit to the Samarkand
region, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said that they plan to return
trams to the capital of Uzbekistan.
The 115-year history of trams in Tashkent ended in May 2016. On
May 2 of the same year, the tram No. 17 en route“Beshkayragach -
Hippodrome Market” made its last trip.
Shortly thereafter, trams began to run in Samarkand. Modern
trams Vario LF, imported from the Czech Republic, after 4 years of
operation in the capital, were taken to Samarkand. Since April
2017, trams have been running in Samarkand along the routes
“Sartepa - Railway Station” and“Siyab Market - Railway Station”.
Before that, trams ran in Samarkand from 1947 to 1973.
