The Antimonopoly Regulation Service has met with the SE ‘NC “Kyrgyz Temir Jolu” management. The main focus was on the topical issues of railway freight and passenger transport discussion, which is a natural monopoly under the Law ‘On Natural Monopolies’.

In particular, it was noted at the meeting that in August 2024 a fixed tariff for travel in VIP compartment cars on the route Bishkek - Balykchy was introduced, which amounted to 6,000 KGS per compartment, regardless of distance. The introduced measures contributed to the increase in the popularity of railway passenger transport and positively impacted tourism development in the region.

The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project was also discussed. As of mid-2023, a feasibility study has been completed, confirming its feasibility and economic viability. The length of the road on the territory of our country will be 311.75 km, the route will pass through Torugart, Arpa, Kosh-Dobbo, Makmal and Jalal-Abad.
