In the city of Tashkent, an important public transport development — due to the next phase of technical maintenance, movement on certain metro routes will be temporarily suspended. This time, changes relate to the section of the ground-level ring metro line between "Quruvchilar" and "Yangiobod" stations, and will take effect from June 28, 2025.
According to the leadership of Tashkent Metro, these measures are the next stage of planned prophylactic and technical works aimed at ensuring passenger safety and uninterrupted functioning of the transport system. These activities are scheduled to take place over three months, executed in stages.
Instead of the metro — free and comfortable metrobuses
To avoid causing additional inconvenience for passengers, free high-capacity special buses — metrobuses — will operate on the "Qipchoq–Yangiobod–Qipchoq" route. These buses will cover the entire section between metro stations, organized as a fast, safe, and comfortable alternative for commuters.
Metrobuses will run daily from 05:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The number of buses and intervals will be adapted to public demand — this ensures passengers avoid congestion and arrive at their destinations on time.
Why is the prophylactic maintenance necessary?
Metro management emphasizes that the primary purpose of these planned works is to renew the transport infrastructure, increase the safety of train operations, and strengthen the technical condition. On the "Technopark – Qipchoq" section of the ring line, repair and modernization works are carried out using technologies that meet modern-day requirements.
Certainly, such works may cause temporary inconvenience, but their outcome guarantees a long-term, safe, and modern transport system. During the technical service, tracks, power supply systems, signaling equipment, passenger platforms, and other engineering infrastructure are inspected and necessary components are updated.
What changes can be expected?
Starting June 28, 2025, the following changes will be implemented:
1. Metro traffic between "Quruvchilar" (station 12) and "Yangiobod" (station 6) will be temporarily suspended;
2. Accordingly, high-capacity buses equipped with air conditioning and modern comforts will be deployed on this segment;
3. Metrobuses will provide free service on the "Qipchoq – Yangiobod" route;
4. Buses will operate from 05:00 to 23:00 each day.
Advice for passengers
1. Get informed about route changes in advance — follow updates on official metro websites and social media;
2. To avoid queues at metrobuses, plan early trips;
3. Whenever possible, use online navigation apps during the metrobuses’ operation period.
Public opinion
Citizens have varied opinions on these changes. Some highlight that such preventive measures are necessary for safety and quality, while others express concerns that the interruptions may affect daily life. Nevertheless, industry experts and the city administration report that all necessary steps are being taken to mitigate any inconvenience.
Conclusion
The temporary shutdown of the metro between “Quruvchilar – Yangiobod” is part of planned and necessary technical maintenance, laying the foundation for a sustainable long-term transport system. Meanwhile, implementing modern, free, and convenient metrobuses can be seen as an effective alternative for passengers.
