Translated with AI from the Russian original.

A draft resolution has been prepared in Uzbekistan to expand the list of free services for passengers at international airports, major railway stations, and bus terminals. The document has been submitted for public discussion. If the initiative is approved, starting July 1, 2027, free luggage storage for ticket holders will be phased in at transport facilities. Passengers will be able to store their belongings for up to 24 hours before departure and after arrival.

Another new service is free Wi-Fi, which passengers will be able to use for at least one hour. In addition, there are plans to install electronic terminals at airports and train stations to order official taxis. Through these terminals, passengers can enter their destination address, find out the fare in advance, and place an order. No SIM card or mobile internet will be required: after completing the procedure, the passenger will receive a receipt with a QR code.

The authors of the initiative point to the lack of unified standards for free luggage storage and the insufficient stability of wireless internet at major transport hubs. There is also currently no standardized system for ordering official taxis via terminals with QR receipt issuance. The proposed changes are intended to improve passenger service; however, for now, this is only a draft resolution that may still change based on the results of the public discussion.
