Digital solutions for the transition to a sustainable public transport system in Tashkent

The purpose of this study is to analyze the prospects for transitioning the city from automobile-dominated mobility to a public transport-oriented system. The methodological framework is based on the analysis of transport infrastructure. The research is conducted on the example of Tashkent – the capital of Uzbekistan – characterized by a high level of motorization and significant commuter migration. The study concludes that a successful transition to public transport requires a phased implementation, involving infrastructure modernization, digitalization, regulation of motorization, and transformation of citizens’ mobility behavior. The novelty of this study lies in developing a digital transition model for Tashkent that integrates international best practices (Berlin, London, Singapore) with the local transport and socio-economic conditions.
