Trams in Samarkand

The tram system of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, consists of two lines operated by Uzbek Railways, with a total of 26 stops and a length of 11.4 kilometers.

[1][2] The last of Samarkand's guided transport was disestablished in 2005, when the trolleybus system (operating from 1957) was removed.

[3] Despite complaints from the local population over the effects of construction on traffic and the demolition of buildings to make way for the tram, the project finished on schedule.

The first system line began operation in March of 2017, with Mirziyoyev as its first rider.

Later, Samarkand purchased 42 of these trams directly from Czech company Pragoimex.
