In Tashkent buses, controllers are allowed to block validators
In Tashkent buses, from October 2, controllers have the opportunity to block validators during fare payment checks. This was reported by the company Toshshahartranshizmat.
The blocking of devices is introduced to exclude the registration of travel after the start of the inspection. If a passenger has not paid or registered the trip immediately upon entry, they will be fined. The fine for fare dodging is 44 thousand soum.
Deputy Director of the state institution Monitoring and Control of Passenger Transport of Tashkent Abduvokhid Khudoyberdiev explained that the tightening of control is aimed at consolidating the established government order.
The obligation to pay for the trip immediately upon entry was introduced on September 1 for bus routes operating under the gross contract system. According to the June decree of the Government of Uzbekistan, a citizen who does not fulfill this requirement is considered a fare dodger.
What it means
From October 2, it is technically impossible to pay for travel after the appearance of a controller in the bus salon. Passengers on gross contract routes must attach a card or scan a QR code immediately upon entry, otherwise they face a fine of 44 thousand soum.
