Mayor Rakhmonbek Usmanov announced a complete closure of the Tashkent tramway by the end of 2016.

This decision is made due to an increase of the automobile traffic in the city, limited street network capacity, and ineffectiveness of the tramway operation. All together 87,8 km. of track will be dismantled. In place of tramway tracks roads will be widened, or the space will be landscaped. Diesel buses will operate instead of trams under the same route designation numbers. In some places buses will start operating parallel to trams ahead of closures, so passengers will get used to the new arrangement. The Line 13 will see such service duplication starting as soon as April 5th.
