A shared taxi, usually a jeep of some kind, from the bazaar at Istravshan takes about 7 hours and costs 90 TJS. The road is quite bad at the moment but the Chinese are working hard to improve it. This means, that in the future the travel time will be significantly less but currently the costruction work can slow down your travel a lot. The Chinese construction workers can close down the whole road and keep it closed until they've finished with the days work meaning waiting times of 8 hours or more.
