A Bishkek resident has voiced strong frustration over chaotic parking that daily creates traffic jams in the city center. The complainant described how cars are frequently parked in three rows at the intersection of Kievskaya and Tynystanov streets, and in two rows on other parts of Tynystanov, reducing the available road space to a single lane.

"The mayor's office is not working at all," the resident lamented, according to a report by 24.kg. "Every day it's the same: no tow trucks, no patrol officers. Nobody is there." The resident also pointed out that the situation has worsened since municipal parking lots were introduced. Even on a three-lane road, two lanes are often occupied by parked cars, significantly impeding traffic flow.
