Urban management program to improve the state of public transportation

According to Fars News Agency’s urban correspondent, Seyed Mojtaba Shafiei, Deputy Mayor of Tehran for Transportation and Traffic, told reporters on the sidelines of the City Council today: “Today, a two-emergency plan was presented to the court by the Civil Engineering and Transportation Commission of the Islamic Council of Tehran.” The plan was about the necessary forecasts for the reopening of schools and educational centers

He added: “The implementation of a number of cases of this plan requires budget reform and the provision of national resources, and entrusts large tasks to the municipality of Tehran, and the necessary resources must be provided.”

The member of the Sixth Council of Tehran, stating that this issue needed more coordination with the Program and Budget Commission of the council, said: “Accordingly, the members of the council decided to work on this plan for another week to be approved more carefully.”

Regarding the improvement of the transportation situation by reopening schools in order to reduce the prevalence of corona, Shafiei said: “Part of the nature of this plan is the measures that are taken annually by the Deputy Minister of Transportation for the reopening of schools.” This year’s projects are heavier.

Regarding other issues of this plan, the Deputy Mayor of Tehran Transport and Traffic said: “There are also other issues regarding increasing the capacity of the public transport fleet in different modes, which need to reduce the time interval, increase the metro and bus fleet.”

Referring to the severe depletion of the public transport fleet, Shafiei said: “Increasing the capacity of the fleet requires a higher cost, which should be amended in the budget.”

He said that in order to carry out the plans, a number of buses must be overhauled and purchased, adding that the purchase of wagons takes two years, so the wagons must be overhauled. The capacity of fleets in need of overhaul should also be assessed.
