From February 1, train ticket prices will increase by 15 percent

The "Uzbekistan Railways" joint-stock company announced that from February 1, the prices of passenger train tickets on domestic routes will increase. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the official statement, ticket prices for high-speed "Afrosiyob" trains, as well as for passenger trains "Sharq," "Nasaf," and "Uzbekistan," will increase by 15 percent. The company explained that the price increase is due to several reasons.
