Uzbekistan's transit is led by Tashkent, whose ornate, expanding metro is complemented by extensive buses and marshrutkas. Intercity travel is served well by the modern Afrosiyob high-speed trains linking Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, plus shared taxis and buses. Historic city centres are walkable, and ride-hailing (Yandex) is cheap and widely used.
