===Local===
Samarkand has a strong public-transport system. From Soviet times up through today, municipal [[bus]]es and [[taxi]]s ([[GAZ-21]], [[GAZ-24]], [[GAZ-3102]], [[VAZ-2101]], [[VAZ-2106]] and [[VAZ-2107]]) have operated in Samarkand. Buses, mostly [[SamAuto]] and [[Isuzu]] buses, are the most common and popular mode of transport in the city. Taxis, which are mostly [[Chevrolet]]s and [[Daewoo Motors|Daewoo]] sedans, are usually yellow in color. Since 2017, there have also been [[Trams in Samarkand|several Samarkandian tram lines]], mostly Vario LF.S Czech trams. From the [[Soviet]] Era up until 2005, Samarkandians also got around via [[trolleybus]]. Finally, Samarkand has the so-called "[[Marshrutka]]," which are [[Daewoo Damas]] and [[GAZelle]] [[minibuses]].

Until 1950, the main forms of transport in Samarkand were [[carriage]]s and "[[Araba (carriage)|arabas]]" with [[horse]]s and [[donkey]]s. However, the city had a [[steam]] tram from 1924 to 1930, and there were more modern trams from 1947 to 1973.
