Public transport system deterioration / new management plan to address challenges

سیدمجتبی Shafiei, Tehran Municipality’s Deputy Minister of Traffic Transportation, says: “There is a long distance in various areas, including subway cars, buses and vans, to the desired condition, and a serious backwardness in the public transport fleet has caused dissatisfaction among users in this area.”
He continued: “In other transportation systems, including software and fleet management and the use of intelligent systems, there are many problems and serious backlogs.”
We need to update the management structure with new technologies

Tehran’s deputy director of traffic transportation said: “A person entered the city’s road network in the morning with high spirits and energy, but he loses his energy at the peak of morning traffic.” Air and noise pollution, traffic and environmental pollution have reduced the quality of life in Tehran.
Part of this problem is due to the actions of transport officials
According to Shafiee, part of these problems is due to the actions of transportation officials. We must improve the problems that have intensified in the past to a reasonable extent, and we are not going to act as a trial and error in the past.
Our main concern is public transport / they did not even provide a bus
In the last few years, the government has not provided a bus. The government did not fulfill its promises in the public transport system. Many subway and bus cars are worn out and in need of overhaul and repair. Seyed Jafar Tashkari Hashemi, head of the Transportation and Traffic Commission of the Tehran City Council, says in this regard: “Our main concern is public transportation.” The 11th and 12th governments announced that they would deliver 17,000 buses to the municipality, but not a single device was delivered after the outbreak of the virus. coronavirus It was announced that the government would provide 5,000 buses to the municipality, but not a single device.
He continued: “If the order to build a wagon is placed now, it will be delivered in at least the next year.” About 500 wagons are not ready for operation and about 400 wagons are derailed, which is a matter of concern.
Tashkari Hashemi added: In 1998, 900 million Tomans, in 1999, 2 billion and in 1400, 66 billion, government assistance to the metro area has been predicted. What miracle is going to happen in the government? These predictions are far from the truth.
There has been talk of launching LRT, but its economic viability remains controversial
There were rumors that proposals were being made for the development of transportation and the launch of light rail.

A member of the Tehran City Council said: “These issues have delicate discussions, the productivity and economic function of which should be examined in the meetings of the council’s transportation commission, and if friends have defenses, it can be included in the program.”
He continued: “Currently, such a program is in work order The municipality is not for this year. There may be a series of ideas about new modes of transportation, but they are rejected by doing expert work for economic efficiency and other reasons, so these issues may be raised in different periods, but do not come to an end.
He emphasized: the new urban management team may think about using LRT in the public transportation system and have an operational and economic solution for it, but it has not been addressed yet.

Compensate.
People in Tehran need subways and buses
According to Sarvari, people in Tehran need subways and buses. The words of the members of the Fifth Council about the human-centered city are very strange, because the same man needs transportation and amenities such as the subway and art, and he should not be stuck in traffic. The municipality is a service-oriented organization.
There has been no progress in the city in the last four years / capacity has decreased

Alireza Zakani, the mayor of Tehran, says: “To solve the two challenges of air pollution and the development of public transportation, we must move towards a hybrid public transportation system in which bicycles, motorcycles, taxis, minibuses, buses and different modes in a specific combination for citizens.” Create responsibility.
600 subway cars in need of overhaul / 146 cars out of order that need to be rebuilt
