Yes, in general, the train station is like a train station. There's not much to add. We left by minibus. There were no problems with payment and boarding.
We went to Rishtan to see the famous Rishtan ceramics, which is recognized in Uzbekistan as one of the best and most famous - there are at least several operating workshops- museums of local craftsmen in the city, many of which are world famous.
As for the bus station, it is an area where there are buses of the PAZ type and small minibuses, as well as many taxi cars, whose drivers are extremely active in offering their services. It was not possible to find the bus schedule or the ticket office. Buses travel to the larger cities around - for example, Kokand, Ferghana, Namangan. The bus ride to Ferghana costs, if I'm not mistaken, 7,000 soums, the travel time is about 1.5 hours.
Next to the "bus station" there is a large (it looks like a central) market.
A terrible place on earth is probably a place where there is no order and normal conditions for both passengers and drivers of public transport. I have seen such things in Arab and Asian countries before, but I could not even imagine such a thing in Uzbekistan... but we have something, not a legitimate collection of money from local taxi drivers, somehow, not finding a place, I decided to stop by for a couple of minutes and immediately ran to me with a salabon asking me to pay. I asked what I should pay for, and in response I heard the taxi driver telling me. I say no, I stopped by for a couple of minutes, I'm leaving now. He says oh well then and then I ask him a question. And that you collect money from taxi drivers, he said yes, like for land for our territory. And then I told him, it's right, it's accepted everywhere. But in other places there are conditions for these people, for example parking lots for taxi drivers so that people like me don't accidentally stop by, they should have a queue, etc. etc. he says no, we don't have that. In general, I was surprised by his answer...
