Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Four new high-capacity lifts have been installed and commissioned at Chinor station on the Tashkent Metro.
Each lift can accommodate 15–20 passengers at a time and has a load capacity of 1,600 kg, the metro’s press service reported.
Previously, elevated metro stations were equipped with lifts designed to carry up to five people. They were intended primarily for passengers with disabilities, older people, pregnant women, parents with pushchairs and other people with reduced mobility.
The metro administration considered the use of these lifts by other passengers a violation of the established rules.
Passengers at Chinor station can now use the higher-capacity lifts. According to the press service, similar equipment is planned for installation at other elevated metro stations in the future.
