The Tashkent Metro has intensified operations during the start of the new academic year by reducing the intervals between trains on all lines and organizing additional staff duty during peak hours.
These changes are due to the projected increase in the number of passengers during morning and evening hours. On the Chilanzar line, trains now run at intervals of 1.5–2 minutes, on the Uzbekistan line—up to three minutes, on the Yunusabad line—up to four minutes, and on the elevated circular line—with an interval of 7–8 minutes.
Additional measures at stations
Additional measures have also been introduced at the stations. During peak load hours, managers and responsible employees are present at all 50 metro stations. Their task is to monitor passenger flow, assist passengers, and respond promptly to any emerging problems.
Special control is focused on stations such as 'Chilanzar', 'Pakhtakor', 'Amir Temur Khiyoboni', 'Alisher Navoi', and 'Beuruni', as higher congestion is expected there. The Metro reported that the schedule will be regularly changed to account for actual passenger flow.
In addition, starting September 7, a temporary bus route was launched in Tashkent for the convenience of students, connecting 'Mirzo Ulugbek Metro Station' and 'UzGUMYA'.
