The tramway period in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, has ended: In the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent has been running for 115 years.
The tram service, which has been continuing for 115 years in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, has ended. The rails started to be dismantled today after the Municipality of Tashkent decided to remove the tram lines, claiming that the streets should be expanded due to the inefficient traffic of the trams and the increasing traffic in the capital.
The tram service in Tashkent was started in 1896 by a Belgian company. In the early years, while trams were pulling horses, in 1912, electric trams were used. After the Second World War, the tram lines were extended. The length of the tram line, which was 1917 kilometers in Tashkent in 29, reached 1940 kilometers in 106, 1970 in 215, and 2001 kilometers in 282.
After Uzbekistan gained its independence, with the spread of other public transport, trams in Tashkent began to lose their importance and were replaced by buses and subways.
In Tashkent, where 1990 percent of passenger transport was carried out by tram in 20, this rate dropped to 2015 percent in 4,8.
