Getting around Tajikistan: a guide to public transport, taxis, car sharing, and bike rentals

Navigating Tajikistan’s cities is straightforward with various transportation options. Buses use the City Card for easy payments, while taxis can be booked through popular apps or hailed on the street. Car sharing provides a convenient way to rent vehicles short-term, and bike rentals are increasingly popular for getting around town. This guide will help you make the most of these options for a smooth travel experience.


Buses


In Tajikistan, the City Card is used for paying bus and trolleybus fares. The card costs 10 somoni, with 4 somoni allocated to the card's balance. The card can be topped up through Express Pay terminals, and when boarding the transport, it should be tapped on the validator for successful payment. Beneficiaries such as pensioners and individuals with disabilities can travel for free if they present the relevant documents. Some buses also offer the option to pay in cash through POS terminals. The City Card is valid for three years, making the payment process convenient for passengers.


Taxi


In Tajikistan, especially in Dushanbe, there are several convenient ways to order a taxi. The most popular methods include mobile apps such as Rakhsh Taxi, Taxi Maksim, and Yandex Taxi, which allow for quick car bookings with various rates and service classes. Taxis can also be hailed on the street or ordered by phone by calling one of the taxi services. Payment is typically made in cash, although some apps support cashless payments, making the process even more convenient for passengers.


Car Sharing


Car sharing is becoming increasingly popular in Tajikistan and provides a convenient way to rent a car for a short period. Several companies, such as rentacar.tj, City Rent A Car, and GetMeCar, offer such services. To start, you need to register in the app, providing your personal details and driver's license, after which you can select and book a car through the app. Payment is made online using a credit card, and access to the car is granted via electronic keys or codes. At the end of the rental, the car must be returned to the designated location, following the app's instructions.


Bike Rentals


Bike rentals are gaining popularity in Tajikistan, especially in cities like Dushanbe. To use this service, you need to choose a suitable provider, such as Velo, Parastu, or Renta Bike, which offer both mechanical and electric bikes. After registering on the website or in the app and providing your details, you can find and book a bike via the map. Payment is usually made online, after which you can use a code or key to unlock the bike. At the end of your ride, the bike must be returned to an approved area or designated location.


Electric Scooters


Electric scooters are a relatively new addition to the urban transport landscape in Tajikistan. While not yet widespread, these scooters are gradually being introduced in Dushanbe. Renting them is typically done through mobile apps like Electron, and users can pick up and drop off scooters at designated locations. This method of transport is ideal for short trips in traffic-congested areas or for navigating central districts. The cost of using electric scooters is generally higher than other forms of public transport but can be a fun and convenient option for expats.
