Tashkent Metro

The Tashkent Metro (Uzbek: Toshkent metropoliteni, Тошкент метрополитени) is the rapid transit system serving the city of Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. It was the seventh metro to be built in the former USSR, opening in 1977, and the first metro in Central Asia. Each station is designed around a particular theme, often reflected in the station name.

The Tashkent Metro consists of four lines, operating on 70.4 kilometres (43.74 mi) of route and serving 50 stations. In 2024, the metro carried 270.3 million passengers, which corresponds to a daily average of approximately 741,000 passengers.

Planning for the Tashkent Metro started in 1968, two years after a major earthquake struck the city in 1966. Construction on the first line began in 1972 and it opened on 6 November 1977 with nine stations. This line was extended in 1980, and the second line was added in 1984. The most recent line is the Circle (Halqa) Line, the first section of which opened in 2020.

A northern extension of the Yunusobod Line for 2 stations Turkiston and Yunusobod was completed and opened on 29 August 2020. The fourth Circle line is currently under construction, first 7 stations for the line have already been built in 2020.

The Tashkent Metro operates three regular lines and a circle line (under further extension), which currently runs 66.5 km (41.32 mi) of route and serve 48 stations. The metro network employs more than 4,200 staff. In 2021, revenues from fares amount to 10.5 billion Uzbekistani sum a month.

The depth of the metro's tunnels varies between 8–25 metres (26 ft 3 in – 82 ft 0 in). The strong construction of these three lines can resist earthquakes of a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale. It sports a 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+2732 in) gauge and a third rail power supply (825 V DC). The average station distance is 1.40 kilometres (0.87 mi).

Tashkent Metro operates 4 lines:

Construction on this line started in 1968, opened in 1977 between Olmazor (previously named as Sabir Rakhimov) and Amir Temur Khiyoboni (previously named as Oktyabr Inqilobi) including Novza (previously named as Khamza) depot and one metro bridge over Oqtepa channel between Novza and Milliy Bog' (previously named as Komsomolskaya) stations. It was extended to Buyuk Ipak Yoli (previously names as Maksim Gorkiy) in 1980 (including another metro bridge over Salar river between Hamid Olimjon and Pushkin stations). It is 23.7 kilometres (14.73 mi) long with 17 stations.
