Cameras have been installed on Fargona yuli street in Tashkent to monitor traffic on the dedicated 'A' lanes for public transport. The cameras cover a 6-kilometer section in both directions, and similar cameras are being gradually introduced on other streets of the capital. The lanes are meant to keep buses on schedule, as one bus can carry more than 50 passengers, and unauthorized vehicles entering the lanes may delay many passengers. From 06:00 to 23:00, vehicles without a permit are prohibited from using the 'A' lanes.

Cameras have been installed to monitor traffic in the dedicated public transport lanes on Fergana Yuli street in Tashkent, according to the capital's Traffic Management Center. A 6 km section in both directions has been equipped with cameras, which record violations from 6:00 to 23:00. Since May 2025, any vehicle is allowed to travel in the dedicated lanes at night. The TMC noted that cameras will be installed step by step on other streets as well to ensure the priority of public transport. The center reminded that a single bus can carry more than 50 passengers at a time, and a car obstructing a bus delays dozens of people. In February 2022, the Tashkent City Transport Department promised to make the dedicated lanes on Fergana Yuli work, but until now ordinary cars had been driving in them. Another problem is road patrol officers stopping cars in these lanes to check documents and process violations, blocking the lanes; Gazeta has repeatedly drawn attention to this and sent a request to the TMC. In the spring, deputy mayor Abdurakhmon Bakhtiyev also addressed the problem, saying that without cameras the sections cannot be made to work. A project to install cameras on buses was also reported. He emphasized that the lanes must be properly organized, as in many places they were drawn without calculations.
