An additional segment of the dedicated lane for rapid bus transport (BRT) has been commissioned in the city of Tashkent, spanning approximately one kilometer.
Thanks to this new section, the total continuous rapid bus route on Shota Rustaveli and Shahrisabz streets has reached nearly eight kilometers. According to information provided by the Road Traffic Organization Center, this new segment runs along Shahrisabz street, starting from the intersection with Amir Temur Avenue and ending at Makhtumkuli Street.
The location of this section is between the Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies and City Maternity Complex No. 6. These dedicated lanes occupy the central part of the roadway, allowing buses to move separately from the general traffic flow.
The introduction of BRT is expected to reduce waiting time in traffic jams, increase movement stability, and improve the predictability of journey duration.
City authorities plan to create a unified transport corridor connecting the Sergelyi and Yunusabad districts. Information about further sections and potential traffic adjustments will be provided by the city later.
It should be noted that the previous construction of the BRT on Shahrisabz street led to temporary changes in the routes of five buses: No. 2, 26, 37, 68, and 93, for which detours were organized along neighboring streets.
