As part of the efforts to reduce traffic congestion in the capital, the Ulaanbaatar Tram Project is being implemented. On January 23, 2025, Project Director B. Anu-Ujin provided an update on its progress.

According to her statement, the tram route has been finalized and the project is currently 20 percent completed. In other words, it is currently in the stage of research, feasibility study, and design development. Two tram routes are planned. Specifically, the first line will run from the Nisekh Roundabout, along Yarmag Road, crossing the Peace Bridge, and ending at Sukhbaatar Square. The Peace Bridge will be reinforced, as the tram will pass over it. The design phase is expected to be completed by April 1, 2025, with the entire project planned for completion by 2030. As for the second line, it will run from Sukhbaatar Square to Zunjin. Land clearance along this route is currently in progress.

Project Director B. Anu-Ujin stated, “This project can be implemented relatively quickly while ensuring road safety and passenger comfort. Each tram unit can carry 150–300 passengers, with an average speed of 30 km/h and a top speed of 60 km/h. Traveling by tram from Yarmag to Sukhbaatar Square is estimated to take 20–30 minutes. As a result, traffic congestion on Yarmag Road could be reduced by 27.5 percent.”
