Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — A new bus route, No. 16, began operating in Bukhara on 11 November, providing regular public transport for the first time to the Uzbakon and Chor-Bakr mahallas. Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Transport reported this.
The buses run between School No. 9 in Bukhara and School No. 23 in Bukhara District. The route operates under a gross-cost contract.
The route passes the Ark complex, M. Karimov Street, the Central Market, Chorboghossa and the Zarafshan highway. It then continues through the Uzbakon mahalla and the Chor-Bakr memorial complex to School No. 23.
Previously, the Uzbakon and Chor-Bakr mahallas had no regular public transport services. The new route is expected to make travel easier for local residents, including schoolchildren and daily bus passengers.
Ten new Yutong buses operate on the route. They are equipped with real-time vehicle tracking systems and electronic fare payment facilities.
