Ulaanbaatar, July 9, 2025 /MONTSAME/ The Science and Technology Council of the Ministry of Roads and Transport has approved the feasibility study for Lines I and II of the Ulaanbaatar Tram project.

 

The study had previously been reviewed and endorsed by the Ministry’s Sub-council for Railways and verified by the Ministry’s Development Center. It has now been approved by the professional council.

 

The “Ulaanbaatar Tram” project is planned to be implemented along two routes in the capital. The first line will run from the summer camp area (Zunjin Trade Center) to Sukhbaatar Square, while the second line will extend from the office of the General Archives Authority of Mongolia to Sukhbaatar Square. The first line of the double-rail tram will span 11 km with 16 stops, and the second line will extend 15 km with 23 stops.

 

This fully electric, eco-friendly mass transit system is expected to reduce road congestion and air pollution caused by vehicle emissions. As a result of the project, the average road traffic speed is projected to increase by 25.7 percent.

 

Tram systems are widely used in cities around the world alongside other high-capacity public transport systems such as metro lines, bus rapid transit, and standard bus networks. In densely populated countries, tram systems are being modernized with advanced technologies, becoming increasingly smart and automated.
