Ulaanbaatar Sets Talks on Kiosk Relocations as Tram Tender Nears

City leaders plan negotiated offers of free space plus jobs to relocate remaining kiosks.

Overview

  • Mayor H. Nyambaatar will meet TҮЦ operators’ associations next week to seek agreements to move roughly 20 remaining kiosks without using force, after five relocated voluntarily.
  • The city will propose alternative placements in two new service centers, offering no‑fee commercial space and employment opportunities to affected vendors.
  • Officials tied the relocations to the Tram project’s land‑clearance needs, with a tender set for February 15 and bid opening targeted for April.
  • Prime Minister G. Zandanshatar highlighted that many kiosk operators are women and flagged widespread winter livelihood concerns as forecasts warn of deep cold in Ulaanbaatar and across Mongolia.
  • The city opened the Dream Ice Rink–2025 at the Central Stadium and set up rinks in all six central districts through March 10, 2026, as broader infrastructure timelines advance, including the Tuul expressway starting March 15, 2026, a ring road tender on March 1, and a metro contractor selection by May 1.
