Bishkek bus route No. 23 split into two separate routes

The changes, which officially took effect on November 9, 2026, aim to improve passenger transport efficiency and create more comfortable travel conditions for city residents.

Transition from semi-circular scheme

According to the Bishkek Mayor's Office, the previous route No. 23 operated on a semi-circular scheme. As part of the optimization process, this single line has now been split into two separate routes.

The municipality stated that this decision was made to enhance the quality of service and improve the overall functioning of the capital's public transport system. Officials noted that efforts to refine the city's transit network will continue.

Details of the changes

While the restructuring is intended to benefit commuters, specific details regarding the new route numbers and the exact streets they will traverse have not yet been specified by the authorities.
