Getting Around Fergana
Shared taxis wait near the bus station entrance. They’re cheaper than a private taxi but usually take 3–4 passengers. Point at the hotel name; drivers know Navoiy Street. Expect a short wait of 10–15 mins for the car to fill.
Buses are crowded and hard to find route numbers in Latin script. Use local bus 5 from the bazaar; get off at the 'Navoiy ko‘chasi' stop, then walk 3 minutes east. Have small coins—drivers rarely give change.
Download Yandex Go before arrival; it works reliably in Fergana. Typical price from the bazaar to Megi is 15–20,000 som. Pay in cash, not card—some local drivers cancel card orders.
Fix the price before getting in; official airport stand is 50,000–60,000 som, but drivers outside will try to start at 80,000. Show the hotel address in Cyrillic on your phone.
