BACKGROUNDS AND REQUIREMENTS

In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the number of people relocating from local areas to settle in Ulaanbaatar. Consequently, the city's road congestion has reached an alarming 78%, with the capacity of the main roads exceeding three times their intended limit, primarily attributed to a 1.8-fold increase in registered vehicles within the capital. This rapid growth in vehicle numbers has outstripped the capacity of bthe road network, revealing a pressing need for substantial improvements in road transport infastructure.

As a consequence, citizens spend on average of 2.4 hours a day and 35 days a year stuck in traffic jams. The cumulative impact of these congestion issues over the past 10 years has resulted in a staggering estimated loss of opportunities amounting to 11.8 trillion MNT.
