Draft resolution on increasing toll for travel through tunnels withdrawn

The draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan on approval of the procedure for payment and size of toll for the passage of vehicles through tunnels on Bishkek — Osh road was withdrawn. The Ministry of Transport and Roads reported.

The decision was made due to the dissatisfaction expressed by citizens on social media. The ministry promises to present a new document later, which will be prepared taking into account public opinion and will be worked out in more detail.

Earlier, the Ministry of Transport proposed to approve a new payment procedure and tolls for the passage of vehicles through tunnels on Bishkek — Osh road. The ministry believes that toll is necessary for the maintenance and operation of the tunnels. Its size will be different for domestic and foreign vehicles.
