Is it true that Uzbek visas are regularly checked in the Tashkent Metro?

Accepted answer

Local police regularly checks bags at the metro entry, but very rarely they will check visa.

If in such case you do not have a passport with you, no one will ask for bribe as @JonathanReez wrote, that's sounds very funny actually:)) they will verify your status and that is it, might call the hotel or take you to the hotel.

I lived in Tashkent for almost half of a year, used metro and never was asked for my visa, though I know people who very occasionally stopped and asked for documents, they had their documents with them (usually everyone carries their passport if travelling in foreign country), so they were fine.

Just keep you passport with you no matter which foreign country you visit:)
