High-speed bus corridor to connect Sergeli and Yunusabad districts
In Tashkent, a high-speed bus corridor is being created to connect the Sergeli and Yunusabad districts. According to the city's Road Traffic Organization Center, its length will be 22.7 km. Some dedicated lanes are already operational, while work continues on the remaining sections.
The corridor will include Shota Rustaveli Street, Shakhrisabz Street, Yangi Sergeli Street, and Amir Temur Avenue. Dedicated lanes on Shota Rustaveli Street have been in operation since 2025. On Shakhrisabz Street, the first 2.2 km have already been opened, while the remaining section is still under construction. Work has begun on Amir Temur Avenue and Yangi Sergeli Street.
On Shota Rustaveli Street, the average speed of buses in 2026 increased by 45% compared to 2023, while the speed of passenger cars rose by 18%, according to data from the Ministry of Transport cited by the Road Traffic Organization Center. The number of public transport passengers on this section increased by 8,000 per day.
Along the corridor, stops with larger boarding platforms will be built. These will be equipped with electronic displays showing bus arrival forecasts, cameras, and emergency call buttons. Street lighting is also planned to be upgraded.
Traffic lights at intersections are being updated to later synchronize them using the 'green wave' principle. Authorities also plan to increase the number of buses and adjust the schedule.
