Uzbekistan often has multiple stations per city (e.g., Tashkent Northern/Southern). Always double-check the exact departure station for your train or bus ticket to avoid turning up at the wrong one. Local transport can help you reach the correct terminal.
For longer train or bus journeys like this one, it’s always a good idea to bring your own snacks and sufficient water. While vendors might be available at stops, having your own supplies ensures comfort throughout the trip.

The journey experience
Navoi to Kokand isn't on the high-speed Afrosiyob network, so you'll be looking at a more traditional Uzbek experience. It's crucial to understand your transport options here to avoid any surprises. You want to know instantly whether a route is the fast Afrosiyob, a slower train, a bus or a flight, and for this journey, it's definitely a slower train or a bus. We'll give you honest door-to-door times and real prices for each choice, so you can plan your journey effectively.
For this specific route, you have two main options: a regular train or a bus. The train, operated by Uzbekistan Railways, takes around 12 hours and costs from €17 (typical up to €18). It’s a comfortable enough option, letting you see the countryside. If you prefer the bus, expect a journey of about several hours for around a certain price. While cheaper, it's a longer ride, so weigh up the time-saving vs. cost-saving. Both options depart from central terminals in Navoi.
While the Afrosiyob is fantastic for the Tashkent–Samarkand–Bukhara corridor, it's important to know when other modes of transport are your only or best bet.
