Electric Scooter Use Restricted in Downtown Bishkek

Electric scooter services operated by Yandex Go in the center of Bishkek are now subject to temporary movement restrictions. The decision comes as the city prepares to host significant international events.

The restrictions are directly linked to the ongoing VI World Nomad Games and the upcoming summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). These major gatherings are expected to draw large numbers of participants and visitors, necessitating careful management of public spaces and transportation.

Authorities have implemented the limitations to ensure the safety and smooth flow of traffic for both event attendees and local residents. The move is intended to prevent potential disruptions and maintain order in the capital city during this busy period.

The specific duration and scope of the restrictions were not detailed, but the focus is on the central areas of Bishkek where the main events and related activities will take place.
