Uz-Autotrans Service, a state owned company, on Monday launched a regular bus service to Moscow. "We launched the first service today. We hope that on the New Year's Eve, we will get a good load," an Uzavtotrans Service official said.
According to him, after the end of the New Year holidays, many labor migrants from Uzbekistan will return to work to Russian cities, which will allow to keep the commercial load.

The travel will last three days. The ticket price is 700 thousand soums, or US$ 75 dollars.
