History of the metro

The construction of the Tashkent Metro began in 1972. The first section with nine stations was put into operation five years later. At that time, the final stops were the "October Revolution" (modern "Amir Temur Square") and "Sabir Rakhimov" ("Almazar") metro stations. Currently, the system consists of four lines, but the media has reported on plans to build new branches.

The main feature of the Tashkent metro is the design of its stations. Here you can take some interesting photos or simply admire the interiors. First of all, for example, you can head to the "Kosmonavtlar" or "Pakhtakor" stations. They are designed in an unusual style.

You can pay for your fare in the Tashkent Metro with a bank card, a transport card, or using a QR code from a special terminal. The subway fare often surprises guests of the city: entering the metro costs 1 700 soums (when paying by card).

Many city attractions are located near the Tashkent metro stations. Using the metro, for example, you can get to Amir Temur Square, the "Uzbekistan" hotel, or "Tashkent City" park.
