What happened
The presidential press service clarified that information about the planned ban on vehicles entering Tashkent or the mandatory transfer of guests to public transport was misinterpreted by some media outlets and social media users. The newly created parking lots at the entrances do not imply restrictions on vehicles.
Why is this important
Incorrect interpretations can cause social tension and create the impression of strict restrictions for drivers. The explanation emphasizes that the authorities are introducing voluntary service, not restrictive measures. This is important for maintaining trust and correct understanding of the capital’s transport policy.
Numbers and facts
Parking at the entrances to Tashkent is intended exclusively as an additional option for city guests.
Drivers can voluntarily leave the car and use public transport.
The “park & ride” format is a common practice in the world’s largest cities.
Context
Tashkent is actively developing public transport and implementing solutions to reduce vehicle load. World practice shows that voluntary parking areas at the entrances help improve mobility without restricting the rights of drivers. The explanation is intended to prevent the dissemination of incorrect information about the transport policy of the capital.
