Supply of 400 buses to Tehran by the end of the year / Development of public transportation is one of the first priorities of the council
For some time now, the former and new city administrations have promised to buy new buses this year. Despite the fact that we have reached the middle of 1400, there is still no news of new buses for Tehran.
Defining new buses for Tehran is definitely one of the main onesMost And our first priorities and follow-ups are in the Transportation Commission of the Council. We have had several meetings with the Deputy Minister of Transportation so far and it is planned to provide 400 new buses for Tehran by the end of the year. Tomorrow we will have another meeting in the specialized transport commission of the council in this regard and the results will be announced. Some financial resources have been suggested for the purchase of new buses from participation bonds, some through direct purchase of municipal budgets and some other economic models, and we are trying to take the necessary measures in this regard along with the city management.
We do not have new lines this year / Completion of previous lines is a priority / Reduction of train travel distance
How has the Sixth Council pursued the development of lines and the purchase of new subway cars?
See the originalMost The debate over the metro is the opening of stations that have not yet been completed Luleاظ They are physically ready for operation and issues such as signaling remain. Launching new lines this year is not a serious issue, but finalizing existing lines and reducing Heading The movement of trains is important. Some subway routes now Heading They have about 45 minutes to move, which is a lot of time, and this should be done by injecting the wagon Heading Decreased.
On the other hand, Tehran Municipality is looking for this case to receive its debts from the government and allocate it in the development of metro and wagon purchases. It seems that in the near future we will hear good news in this regard. Solutions are also done to the government and urban management. We hope to see changes in this direction soon.
We do not know the list of appointments / we saw the names in cyberspace
It is said that two options are among the people whose appointment has been proposed as the new Deputy Minister of Transportation in the city administration. Is the city council aware of this issue?
I and two other members of the Civil Engineering and Transportation Commission of the council, including Mr. Tashkari, Hashemi and Aghamiri, have no information about the new appointment and we have been informed of the names of the two options in cyberspace, and if they ask us, we will have comments in the commission.
3 reasons that cause the possibility of changing and increasing the traffic plan hours
In recent weeks, with the acceleration of vaccination coronavirus The number of patients and deaths of this disease has decreased. Is it possible that in the second half of the year, the traffic plan time will change and the traffic plan and air pollution reduction plan will start from 6:30 AM instead of the previous 8:30 AM?
There is no discussion in this regard yet. I do not think that a clear answer can be given in this regard now, but in general, three factors in the return of traffic plan hours to before the situation coronavirus There is one statistic of deaths and illnesses coronavirus And the opinion of the counter-headquarters coronavirusThe second is the issue of entering autumn, creating temperature inversion and intensification of air pollution, and the third is the reopening of schools, albeit minimally and with a low capacity, because this issue affects traffic and in general all three factors may lead to It should be noted that traffic plan hours increase and are similar to before coronavirus Be.
There is no need to return to the position of deputy
Recently, the return of the deputy position in urban management has been raised. Some agree with this issue and some disagree. What is your opinion in this regard?
You see, my opinion is completely personal in this regard. I think it is not necessary for the post of deputy to return to the municipality. Of course, there are some Egyptians in the executive body to return this post, but I am against it because I think the municipality has many departments. The phrase is the same as the deputy chairman in different areas. Of course, the opinion of the council may be different, but if this case returns, the administrative council, which may include several council members, will make a decision in this regard or discuss this issue in meetings. Is placed.
What currently exists for Assistant Managers may change / Parallel positions do not help advance goals
Have your say on the activity Assistant Managers It is similar to the post of deputy and it is possible that Assistant Managers Change their position?
Yes, what is currently available to assistant managers may change, but still from the municipality The proposed It has not come, we have to wait and see what the situation will be like, of course, the period when I was working in the municipality required attendance Assistant Managers I have not realized that experience has shown that creating parallel positions not only does not help to advance the goals, but also hinders the right path, and that having multiple people under different titles creates confusion in the work.
Delivery and transformation plan instead of research / investigation / We do not want to enter the marginal space
Where did the investigation of the former city management end up?
In our opinion, the investigation has a negative aspect and we do not want to bring negative sensitivity and bad energy to the executive body and enter the marginal space, so we signed another plan as a matter of urgency and it was approved in the council and that plan There are two urgencies of analysis and change in the municipality, the formal content of which is almost similar to research and investigation. The amount of municipal debt will be done according to the standards and with the approval of the auditors.
In the municipality and the council, we are against increasing the ticket price / we do not want economic pressure on the people
The issue of increasing the price of metro tickets has caused a lot of controversy in recent weeks. Of course, Alireza Zakani, the mayor of Tehran, denied this, but in any case, the city council is responsible for approving the price of metro and bus tickets. What is your opinion about public transportation ticket prices?
As we said, this case was approved by Alireza Zakani, the mayor of Tehran. And put economic pressure on the people.
Planning to make Tehran as smart as possible
How smart do you think Tehran is and what steps should the city management take in this regard?
Some time ago, Mr. Farjoud appeared in front of the council and presented a report. I asked the director of Tehran Municipality Information and Technology Organization how smart Tehran is. You see, this year we are in the third year of the third Tehran city development plan, and fortunately, in the rulings that have been seen in the smartening plan, a large number of committees have been identified. The rank of Tehran in the World Bank rankings increased from 176 to 25 from 1986 to 1996, which was due to the simplification of municipal processes, but in the last 4 years it has dropped below 80 and the necessary measures must be taken.
There is no gender perspective on appointments
As a member of the city council, what is your opinion on the appointment of women to municipal management positions?
In general, appointments in the municipality are within the authority of the mayor of Tehran. It does not matter to us whether the managers are women or men.شاألله New appointments are made in the municipality regardless of gender.
