Abstract
As one of the major and rapidly developing regions of Uzbekistan, Andijan City
faces several challenges associated with population growth and increasing traffic flow.
Issues such as delays in public transport, route inconsistencies, and technical conditions
of vehicles lead to poor-quality transport services, negatively affecting the daily lives
of residents and necessitating improvements in the system. This article analyzes the
current state of the transport infrastructure and public transport system in Andijan City.
Recommendations for resolving existing problems and improving the system are
provided.

Introduction
Modernizing and improving Andijan City's transport system serves not only to
create comfortable conditions for passengers but also to contribute to the sustainable
development of the city's infrastructure.
The Presidential Decree No. PQ-59 dated February 16, 2023, on "Measures for
Reforming the Public Transport System" outlines plans to improve service quality by
introducing modern technologies such as electronic payment systems and GPS
monitoring into the public transport system.
The decree specifies that by August 1, 2023, Andijan City will implement a new
network of bus routes, automated payment systems, and dispatching services. From
January 1, 2024, a gross-contract-based model for passenger transportation with
regulated tariffs will be introduced for urban bus routes.[1-2].

oriented transport. The relationship between the city’s residents and the transport
system impacts numerous social and economic aspects, making efficient infrastructure
vital for urban development.
Public transport primarily consists of buses, route taxis, and non-route taxis.
Buses cover wider routes, focusing on central areas, while taxis offer faster services,
reaching narrow streets and small residential zones. However, traffic congestion is
prevalent on main streets, causing delays, increased fuel consumption, and
environmental harm.

The growth rates of the population of Andijan in recent years are one of the
important factors requiring the optimization of transport infrastructure. Given that the
city's population increased by 30% from 2010 to 2024 and is growing rapidly, it is
important to analyze the city's transport infrastructure and increase the attractiveness
of public transport [5].
EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS AND METHODS.
The analysis of urban transport
infrastructure and public transport mainly used quantitative and qualitative methods.
Analyzing the population and demographic growth of the city of Andijan is
important in planning transport infrastructure.
Below is a graph showing the population growth of Andijan from 2010 to 2024
(as of July 1).

Diagram 1. Population growth rates of Andijan city in 2010-2024
The city's population is expected to grow by 30% (see Figure 1) between 2010
and 2024. This growth marks the city as a socio-economically developing region and
means that the burden on public transport is also increasing. This requires the
development of new solutions for strategic planning of the transport system in the
coming years.
In 2019, the number of cars registered by legal entities and individuals in Andijan
was 47,906, while by 2022 this figure had increased by 18% to 56,507. This data is
shown in Figure 2. Due to cars entering from outside the city, there is a daily flow of
more than 70,000 cars in the city [3].

urban transport system (87.1%). The growth of personal vehicles, the lack of analog
routes on city streets, currently leads to traffic jams of 7-8 points. Traffic jams not only
reduce the throughput of roads, but also lead to an increase in toxic gases emitted by
vehicles. The share of electric cars in the city, which are considered relatively
environmentally friendly, is also not that high (Diagram 3).

The total length of the city's internal roads is 829.6 thousand km, and there are 7
main connecting central streets. They are Uzbekistan Street (6 km), Boburshok Street

pedestrian crossings and 51 unregulated crossings on these streets. There are also 31
traffic lights installed to control vehicle traffic.
The public transport system in Andijan occupies an important place in the city's
transport infrastructure. Currently, buses, minibuses, and routed and non-routed taxis
are the main means of public transport in the city. Public transport in the city mainly
serves to meet passenger demand, connect densely populated areas within the city, and
provide transport links with suburban areas.
According to available data, the daily passenger flow is 731 thousand people. 137
buses, 35 minibuses and 3316 taxis are operated for these passengers. The total number
of routes is 9. It also serves residents visiting from outside the city through 92
intermediate stops, 1 bus station and 5 bus stations.

Result.
Problems:
1.
Traffic jams occur due to the insufficient organization of public transport, as a
result of which the population uses private cars for transportation;
2.
There are no alternative routes to connect the streets;
3.
Excessive density of vehicles in some directions (Babur branch street), and in
some areas, unsatisfied passenger demand;
4.
Inadequate equipment of the stations (no monitors installed to monitor the
movement schedule and data in real time);
5.
Technical condition and environmental aspects of buses (there are no electric
buses);
6.Low level of use of electronic payment systems among the population.
According to the results of a survey conducted to determine the public's opinion
on public transport, the majority of respondents consider the system's performance to
be average and below the required level.

CONCLUSION.
An analysis of the current state of the transport infrastructure
and public transport system of the city of Andijan showed that it is necessary to carry
out systematic work to eliminate existing problems, strategically plan future actions,
and implement the work to be carried out taking into account the opinions of the
population. It is also necessary to implement important tasks such as the use of modern
technologies in the development of urban transport infrastructure and the
modernization of public transport, the formation of a socio-economic demographic
database of the territory, the formation and constant updating of an electronic database
of public transport, the development of a transport system model and forecast model
based on the current situation, the identification of systemic problems, the development
and implementation of a Master Plan for the prospective development of the transport
system. The results of the study provide the following proposals for improving the
efficiency of the city's transport system.
Offer:
1. Review public transport routes, analyze overlapping routes (1, 8, 11, 21 35, 55,
75, 222, 394) and redirect them to underserved areas based on the results; 311 new
buses are required for the city's public transport system, of which 174 (10.5 m) buses
will be provided;
2. Develop a Master Plan for the city and pay attention to the issues of reducing
traffic congestion in the road infrastructure based on the plan;

3. Make stops more convenient for passengers, install the above-mentioned
equipment;
4. Replace buses with environmentally friendly electric buses;
5. Strengthen public awareness of the use of electronic payment systems.
The transport infrastructure and public transport system of Andijan city play an
important role in creating convenience for the population. This analysis shows that
there is an opportunity to create more convenient conditions for the population by
modernizing the system and solving problems. This will ensure not only the city's
transport system, but also its overall economic and social development.
