Tashkent is studying the possibility of implementing a school bus system to ensure safe student transportation

The Tashkent Road Traffic Center reported that a practical assessment of introducing a school bus system in Tashkent has begun. The goal of this initiative is to ensure safer and more convenient transportation of students to educational institutions.

In the initial stage, specialists are studying parents' needs, determining current methods of schoolchildren's travel to educational institutions, and collecting data for developing bus routes.

So far, a survey has been conducted in 29 out of 328 schools in Tashkent. Priority was given to schools with the largest number of students, as high demand for specialized school transport is expected. Family members or guardians of 58,369 schoolchildren participated in the survey.

Preliminary results show that 38.5% of students walk to school. Another 33.1% are driven by parents in private cars. 18.3% of students use buses, 5.7% use taxis, and 3.5% use the metro. The remaining 0.9% use micro-mobility options.

Furthermore, 73.5% of survey participants expressed a desire to see dedicated bus transport for schools. The Tashkent Road Traffic Center noted that this data indicates significant potential demand for a school bus system.

The survey will gradually continue in the remaining schools of the capital. After completing the study, specialists plan to analyze student traffic flows, determine the most in-demand routes, establish the necessary number of buses, and develop work schedules.

The study will also cover the organization of safe boarding and alighting spots for children from buses, as well as other aspects of the future system. Based on this analysis, the practical feasibility of launching school bus services will be assessed. The issue of gradual implementation of the system in Tashkent will then be considered jointly with relevant organizations.

Parents were advised to participate in the survey via the Telegram bot @school_coddbot. It is expected that the collected responses will help determine the potential number of users of school buses, as well as the required number of vehicles and routes.
