The first open expert meeting, the Road Council, dedicated to improving the transport situation and reducing traffic jams in the capital, took place at DEPO-2.

The goal of the event was to develop realistic and practical solutions that will help make city roads safer and more comfortable.

Bishkek Mayor Aibek Junushaliyev opened the meeting in the format of an open dialogue with scientists, experts, public activists, and media representatives.

In his speech, the head of the city emphasized that the Road Council is a new format for interaction between the authorities and society, focused not on accountability but on real change:

"Our main goal today is to establish a direct connection with society.

This is not just another meeting, but a new platform for open dialogue. We have both the desire and the will to speak directly with those who criticize us—the residents for whom we work.

We understand that not all problems can be solved in one day, but we are ready to listen, accept proposals, and work with you to monitor their implementation.

Everything that is said today must be turned into concrete actions," the mayor noted.

Aibek Junushaliyev also added that this practice will become permanent and will allow for the systematic development of effective solutions for the capital's transport development.
