At the end of last week, residents and guests of Tashkent faced an unpleasant surprise – the public transport monitoring programs stopped working. Today, officials attempted to explain why this happened, but it didn’t go very well. Technical work is to blame, and “Toshshaharttransxizmat” couldn’t specify when it will be completed.
“Toshshaharttransxizmat” stated that the Intelligent Transport Monitoring System (IVMS), which the organization transitioned to in February of this year, requires further refinement and optimization. However, the company couldn’t provide specific completion dates for these works, causing dissatisfaction among public transport users.
The IVMS was implemented to improve the management of public transport in Tashkent. It allows passengers to track bus movements in real time, plan routes, and minimize waiting times. Additionally, the new system was integrated with Google Maps, enabling residents and visitors of the capital to track buses in real time through this popular service.
Officials emphasize that the technical work is being carried out to enhance the stability and functionality of the system. Specifically, changes are being made to IVMS to improve server performance, optimize the database, and add new features such as software backup.
“Currently, specialists are working on entering and integrating data from the internal devices of about 1,700 buses into the system. In the near future, passengers will be able to take full advantage of IVMS when planning their routes,” highlighted “Toshshaharttransxizmat.”
Passengers expressed their disappointment on social media, noting that the lack of clear information on the completion dates of the technical work causes inconvenience. Many had hoped that the new system would help avoid the problems they faced previously, but now they have to cope with the unpredictability of public transport operations.
It remains to be hoped that all issues will be resolved soon and the system will start working at full capacity, meeting passengers’ expectations.
