Uzbekistan Railways to raise ticket prices again
Starting July 1, passengers traveling on “Nasaf,” “Sharq,” and “Uzbekistan” trains on local routes will see a 25 percent increase in the tariff component of their ticket prices. This announcement comes from JSC Uzbekistan Railways, citing the need for additional services, development of passenger trains, renewal of passenger car parks, modernization, purchase of new electric trains, and adaptation of stations to modern standards.
The decision to raise prices follows a similar adjustment made on May 15 for the “Afrosiyob” electric trains, with a 20 percent increase for economy class, 30 percent for business class, and 40 percent for VIP class. Uzbekistan Railways has justified these price hikes as necessary to cover the rising costs of electricity, fuel, logistics, and transportation.
Passengers planning to travel on these routes should be prepared for the upcoming increase in ticket prices and budget accordingly. Despite the higher fares, the railway company promises improved services and facilities to enhance the overall travel experience for commuters.
