Why is this important
Failures at the gas station affect the regularity of passenger transportation and the load on the capital’s transport system. Restricting bus access to gas stations can lead to delays on routes and a decrease in the quality of service for residents. Managing the situation becomes critical during periods of high gas consumption and low temperatures.
What happened
- Reports appeared on social media about queues of buses at gas filling stations in Tashkent.
- “Toshshahartransxizmat” commented on the publications and explained the reasons for the congestion of vehicles at gas stations.
- The company reported that the number of bus service stations has been temporarily reduced.
Numbers and facts
- In Tashkent, more than 1 thousand large and very large-capacity methane buses operate.
- On weekdays, 33 gas stations operate in the capital to refuel them.
- Due to the decrease in temperature to provide gas to the population and social facilities, the number of gas stations for car fleets has been reduced by 3 times — to 11.
- Due to increased gas consumption and reduced pressure, the refueling time for one bus has significantly increased.
- The list of gas stations has been approved, and a bus arrival schedule has been drawn up in coordination with “Hududgaz Poytaxt” and the khokimiyat.
Context
- Redistributing gas to the benefit of the population and social facilities temporarily reduces the availability of gas stations for buses, which leads to queues.
- If low temperatures persist, delays in fuel supply to transportation and the risk of schedule disruptions may occur. The schedules and control measures taken should minimize negative consequences for passengers.
