Samarkand to Tashkent Destination Reviews

ĪI

The driver picked me up right on time. However, when we arrived at the Samarqand Avtovokzali, we had to wait for more than an hour past the scheduled departure time. The trip itself wasn’t very pleasant — the seats were quite narrow, and the coach driver kept honking the horn, which was rather annoying. Overall, if there had been a train available at that time, I would have chosen to take the train instead, especially since the price is similar. Just a reminder — be sure to message the operator on WhatsApp (info provided on voucher) beforehand to get your ticket and confirm the pick-up details.

Buying tickets here is pretty easy too. It’s a third-party website — the official site was sold out, but this one still has availability. Just wait a bit and they’ll email you the ticket. Seamless payment. Nice 👍

The condition of the VAN was below average or say not meeting any standards. The shocker of the Van was bad. We faced tough time to travel. The speedometer was not working. The seat belt was missing at all places.The seat reclining and movements were not working.The water was not available. The air-conditioning was also not effective. I would conclude that without speedometer and sear belt, a VAN should not be declared worthy.

Late arrival. No train schedule sign and necessary information at the train station. Digital sign on board did not show real-time train running status so it's impossible for passenger to know the exact location and arrival time. The overall facilities at the arrive station (Tashkent) is below standard (dark and difficult to walk, no proper sign to indicate exit way. All passengers have to walk across the tracks in the middle of the night with poor lighting to exit the station. Very dangerous.

Driver arrived on time for pick up. Journey took expected time. Driver was helpful and polite. However I do not appreciate drivers constantly using their phones when driving. We had several instances of drifting offline and sharp braking as a result of the driver not being fully focussed on the road.
