Tashkent Metro is preparing for a significant upgrade of its rolling stock. According to the metro’s statement, 48 modern subway cars are expected to be purchased by the end of 2024, with an additional 56 cars planned for delivery in 2025. This will significantly renew the current fleet of cars and reduce the intervals between trains on the main lines.
The arrival of new subway cars, expected within the next three months, will increase the number of trains on the Chilanzar, Uzbekistan, Yunusabad, and Ring (overground) lines. As a result, the train intervals will be reduced to 2-3 minutes, compared to the current 4-9 minute intervals. This will make travel more convenient and speed up passenger transportation during peak hours.
The large-scale procurement of subway cars and the expansion of metro lines are important steps in developing Tashkent’s transport infrastructure. Considering the growing demand for efficient and fast transportation, modernizing the metro is becoming a key factor in improving transport accessibility and enhancing comfort for city residents.
In 2021, the metro transported between 280,000 and 300,000 passengers daily. It is expected that this figure will increase to 920,000-930,000 passengers per day by 2024, with Tashkent Metro projected to serve 1 million passengers daily by the end of the year. For comparison, in 2016, the metro transported 52 million people, while in 2023, this figure reached 172 million. By the end of 2024, Tashkent Metro plans to serve 209 million passengers.
Until 2021, there were 36 subway trains in operation on Tashkent’s metro lines. However, over the past three years, 29 new modern trains have been purchased. In 2024, the number of trains increased to 65, significantly improving the city’s transport services.
It is worth noting that for nearly 40 years, Tashkent Metro had only 29 stations and 38 km of track. However, over the past six years, the metro network has expanded significantly: 33 km of new lines and 21 stations have been put into operation. As a result, the total number of stations has increased to 50, and the total length of the metro lines now stretches to 71 km.
