Recently, the governments of Uzbekistan and Russia made an important decision for those traveling between the capitals of the two countries. The passenger train from Tashkent to Moscow will start running twice a week, significantly facilitating travel for citizens of both countries. The first train will depart on September 24, and until the end of the year, the train will run once a week. Starting from the new year, the number of trips will increase to two per week, according to the plan.
“Starting from September 24, we are launching the passenger train route Tashkent – Moscow. Now, the journey between the two capitals can be completed without transfers, and the travel time will be just over three days,” said Russian Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit.
A key feature of this route is that the train will make stops in several localities along the way. This will not only allow passengers to reach Moscow but also plan trips to other cities in Russia and Kazakhstan. Specifically, the train will pass through cities such as Penza, Samara, Orenburg, and also make a stop in Kazakhstan’s Aktau.
Until the end of 2024, the train will run once a week, providing stable connections for travelers. And starting from the new year, with the increase in trips to twice a week, passengers will have even more flexibility in planning their journeys.
As for ticket prices, seats in the third-class sleeper cars (platskart) start from 2.4 million soms, and in second-class sleeper cars (kupé) from 3.3 million soms, making the trip accessible to different categories of passengers.
The introduction of this route opens new opportunities for those who prefer to travel by land and also makes a significant contribution to the development of transport infrastructure between Uzbekistan and Russia.
