Key Highlights * Spanning 9,289 km, the line connects Moscow to Vladivostok across eight time zones. * Construction, completed in 1916, overcame harsh Siberian climates and vast distances. * It remains a vital artery for commerce, military logistics, and international tourism. Detailed Insights The Trans‑Siberian Railway, inaugurated in the early 20th century, is the longest continuous railway in the world. Its route cuts through diverse landscapes—taiga forests, the Yenisei and Ob rivers, and the remote Altai mountains—linking the European part of Russia with its Far‑East coast. The journey from Moscow to Vladivostok takes roughly seven days, during which passengers cross eight distinct time zones and experience a microcosm of Russian geography and culture. Engineering the line required innovative solutions to extreme weather, permafrost, and river crossings. Bridges, tunnels, and reinforced track beds were built to withstand temperatures that can plunge below –50 °C. The railway also served strategic purposes during wartime, enabling rapid troop movements and supply transport across the vast nation. Today, the route is a major tourist attraction, drawing travelers who wish to witness the breathtaking scenery of Lake Baikal, the Siberian tundra, and the bustling cities that punctuate the line.

Minister of works and transport Veikko Nekundi on Tuesday announced that seven seater vehicles will now be eligible to get permits to travel long distances. “I confirm that seven seaters will now get permits and travel from Windhoek to Katima Mulilo,” he said. Nekundi also announced that indefinite passenger transport permit holders have until 30 September to revert to a two-year transitional renewable permit, pending the finalisation of amendments to the Road Transportation Act. He said the conversion is to address the manipulation of permits which has disadvantaged vehicle owners who are unable to acquire permits. “[Those] with no vehicles were issued with these licences and they then rent them out at fees ranging from N$500 to N$1 000 a month to the taxi owners, while those with vehicle applications were either turned down or never responded [to] despite several follow ups and appeals,” Nekundi said. As a result, those using rented permits have until 30 September to apply to continue using them until they acquire their own permits to be issued only to vehicle owners. Nekundi reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to ensuring that regulatory systems are responsive and effective in supporting a well-functioning transport sector The post Seven seaters to be eligible for long-distance permits appeared first on The Namibian.
