History

The network opened with horsecars in 1901. Since 1912 the system has been converted to electric tramway. As of its closing in 2016, the network consisted of six lines of 87.8 kilometres (54.6 mi) of route, a decline from the tram system's maximum of 24 lines.

Tashkent Mayor Rakhmonbek Usmonov announced on March 29, 2016, that the network would close by year's end in order to make way for more cars and thus aid in reducing congestions within the capital. City-owned operating company Tashgorpastrans also plans to sell the 30 KTM-19 and 20 Vario LF trams, which it acquired in 2007 and 2011, respectively. [1] The system was closed on May 2, 2016.

The plans are to restore the tram system by 2024. This will be done by the French company Alstom. [2] [ needs update ]
