By metro in Tashkent
The city has a good public transport system which is cheap. The metro/underground system is typical of the old Soviet style - with large and impressive stations - and is actually quite modern. There are also modern buses and trams many of which were renewed in 2008. Tickets (which on the metro are small blue coin size tokens) cost 500 soms for any single journey. It is not permitted to take photographs in the metro stations. Police will usually be present on all platforms. Do not risk taking photos "while the policeman is not watching" because they have security cameras everywhere and policeman will approach you instantly and check your documents. In all cases do have documents while you are taking the metro (or anywhere in the city), for you can be checked any time.
Tashkent metro has three lines:
Uzbekistan (Red line) from Beruni to Chkalov,
Chilonzor (green line) from Janubly to Turkistan,
Yunus-Obod (blue line) from Sabir Rakhimov to Buyuk Ipak Juli. The trains leave every 2 minutes.
