ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, March 11. Turkmenistan
has unveiled a fully renovated bus terminal in the city of Tejen,
strategically located along the Ashgabat-Turkmenabat highway,
Trend reports via the country’s Ministry of Automobile
Roads.
The newly upgraded terminal now offers regular bus services to
surrounding regions, while also maintaining vital intercity
connections, including direct links to Serakhs at the
Turkmenistan-Iran border, a key international transit point.
This modernization effort forms part of Turkmenistan's broader
initiative to upgrade transportation infrastructure along critical
routes, enhancing regional and international logistics
capabilities, and reinforcing the nation's position in East–West
transit corridors.
Turkmenistan plays a key transit role in Central Asia,
participating in the Lapis Lazuli Corridor (linking
Afghanistan/Central Asia to Europe via Türkiye), as a potential
link in the INSTC (via Iran/Persian Gulf), and as a Caspian Sea
nation leveraging the Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian) and the
TRACECA network (Europe-Caucasus-Asia) to diversify trade,
connecting to Europe, Türkiye, and the Indian Ocean through the
Ashgabat Agreement, aiming to become a major Eurasian logistics hub
and reduce reliance on traditional routes.
