On the Tashkent metro from Kuilyuk to Sergeli can be reached in 15 minutes

On February 8, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the progress of creative work in the Tashkent metro.

It is a great happiness for a person to see the results of his work, to help the people with useful deeds. Large-scale work is being carried out in our country to meet the needs of people, to make distances closer.

For example, huge projects have been implemented in the field of public transport in recent years. In August 2020, the first stage of the elevated line of the Tashkent metro was launched. In December of the same year, the Sergeli subway line was opened. Today's passenger traffic figures confirm that these projects have fully justified themselves.

Работа в этом направлении последовательно продолжается - от Куйлюка до Сергели прокладывается еще одна ветка, которая соединит указанные линии. На этом участке протяженностью около 12 километров предусмотрено строительство 7 станций. В настоящее время завершены 5 станций до массива Строителей.

The head of state visited the new line. In a conversation with representatives of the older generation and the public, he touched on the importance of this project. - In recent years, we have gained experience in this area. 7 metro stations were built in the Kuilyuk direction and 5 stations in Sergeli. If earlier 240,000 passengers used the Tashkent metro, today their number has exceeded 600,000. Our plan is 1 million passengers. If this had not been started at the right time, a collapse could have occurred in urban transport. Now it is necessary to deal with alternative energy, Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.

The President took a ride in the subway together with members of the public.

In the coming months, a 4-kilometer section of the line from the Stroiteley massif to Kipchok will also be put into operation. Thus, the travel time between Kuyluk and Sergeli will be 15 minutes. The line will be able to carry about 40,000 passengers a day.

Due to this, a decrease in the use of personal vehicles and the load on roads is expected. In particular, the daily flow of cars on the Kuilyuk-Sergeli route may decrease to 40,000, and traffic on the roads may decrease by 12 percent.

In general, with the completion of this stage, the total length of the Tashkent metro will be more than 70 kilometers, and the number of stations will be 50. The daily passenger flow will reach 650,000 people. 245 new jobs will be created.Source: UzA
