context_page_description: The Tashkent Metro is the rapid transit system serving the city of Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. It was the seventh metro to be built in the former USSR, opening in 1977, and is one of only two subway systems currently operating in Central Asia. Its stations are among the most ornate in the world, and unlike most ex-Soviet metros, the system is shallow.
  The Tashkent Metro consists of three lines, operating on 36.2 kilometres of route and serving 29 stations. In 2013, the metro carried 59.2 million passengers, which corresponds to a daily average of approximately 162,200 riders.
context_section_description: Current lines
  The details of each line is as follows:
  Chilonzor Line (red): Construction on this line started in 1968, opened in 1977 between Sabir Rakhimov and Oktyabrinkilobi (Russian: Oktyabr'skoy Revolyutsii, now Amir Temur Khiyoboni) including Novza (Khamza) depot and one metro bridge over Oqtepa channel between Novza (Khamza) and Komsomolskaya stations. It was extended to Maksim Gor'kiy (now Buyuk Ipak Yoli) in 1980 (including another metro bridge over Salar river between Hamid Alimdzhan and Pushkin stations). It is 15.5 kilometres (9.6 mi) long with 12 stations – the planned eastward extension to Traktornyi Zavod (3 stations) was under way but now has disappeared from maps.
  Oʻzbekiston Line (blue): The route of this line crosses the city diagonally from northwest to southeast via the Toshkent Railway station. It opened in 1984 and expanded between 1984 and 1991. It is 14.3 kilometres (8.9 mi) long with 11 stations.
  Yunusobod Line (green): Work is under way on this line to connect the northern districts to the airport in the south. The first 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) section with six underground stations opened for regular service on 24 October 2001 (test runs began on 28 August 2001 – the 10th anniversary of independence, but opening was delayed due to the 9/11 attacks) between Ming Urik (initially planned to be named Lokhutiy) and Habib Abdullayev (now Shahriston). 
  Planned lines
  In February 2020 it was reported that construction of the first section of the Circle Line from Do'stlik to Qo'yliq stations was finished and that new rolling stock for the Circle Line was undergoing trials. The new section is 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) in length and has six stations.
