Transport Minister Ilkhom Makhkamov presented a report on the work carried out over six months and spoke about plans for the near future.
In particular, he emphasized that 200 electric buses and 12 metro trains will be purchased for Tashkent from China's BYD company.
The government plans to deliver 1,000 buses to provincial centers.
Additionally, the president has instructed the purchase of buses by the end of the year.
