In Tashkent, the "Day without a car" will become a monthly event: officials were obliged to set an example
The action "Day without a car" was held in Tashkent on March 29. On this day, managers and other employees of all republican and local executive authorities, whose buildings are located in the capital of Uzbekistan, were instructed to "set a personal example by arriving at the workplace by public transport."
The heads of various levels did so, as evidenced by the photos and videos distributed by Uzbek departments and organizations. For example, the Tashkent City Hall in its video demonstrated that its parking lot is completely empty on this day. The Ministry of Transport showed how the leadership of the department, including the minister, gets to work by bus.
The ministers were seen not only on buses and the subway – some decided to walk or ride a bike.
According to UzA, on behalf of the government of Uzbekistan, since March 2024, the fourth Wednesday of each month (Thursday, if it falls on a public holiday) has been declared a "Car-free Day" aimed at reducing automobile traffic (except for public transport, special and emergency services) in the city of Tashkent.
The public project "Day without a Car" noted that senior and responsible employees of ministries and departments, territorial executive authorities come to work by public transport and set an example.
