Uklon has begun connecting drivers to its service in five new Uzbek cities - Fergana, Margilan, Kokand, Namangan and Andijan - expanding its presence beyond Tashkent, the online taxi service said on Wednesday. "By launching in five neighboring cities at once, we are laying the foundation for long-term growth. Drivers have been able to independently register and connect to the platform via the Uklon Driver app since August 5. Among other things, users will have access to the Lite and Comfort classes in Kokand and Namangan, while Andijan, Fergana and Margilan will offer Lite, Comfort and Quick Search. Uklon has operated in Uzbekistan since June 2023, and users completed more than 15 million trips on the service last year.
