Warning about the double increase of subway passengers / Tehran MPs’ meeting with Ayatollah Raisi / Public transport budget will increase?
Fars News Agency, Urban Group:The 70th session of the Supreme Traffic Council of Tehran was held late last week in the presence of the members of this council to decide on the hours of implementation of the traffic plan. One of the factors affecting the heavy traffic conditions was the ineffectiveness of the traffic restrictions imposed in the traffic plan because the implementation of the traffic plan had changed from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM and from 6:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Therefore, it was decided to change these hours. In the first step, from 10 November, the morning traffic hours will change from 8:30 to 7:30 in the morning and sometimes from 16 to 17 in the evening. The corona will be changed immediately on the same day from 7:30 to 6:30 in the morning and from 5 to 6 p.m.
This decision has caused many citizens to complain, because the lack of public transport fleet will cause a sharp increase in the number of subway and bus passengers from November 1, while the corona has not yet been fully restrained and there are still about 50 people a day in the capital. 10 people die due to the infamous Covid virus.
The elections of the sixth city and village council were held on 28 June this year. This election coincided with the presidential election, and the people of Tehran voted with a decisive vote in the list of the Coalition Council of the Islamic Revolution, with 21 people active in the list of decisive and positive votes. The activity of the Sixth City Council in the capital began almost in mid-August, and their most important priority was the election of the mayor.
In their second meeting, the members of the sixth council elected “Alireza Zakani” as the mayor of Tehran with 18 votes out of a total of 21 votes. After a month, Alireza Zakani’s sentence was announced by the Interior Minister of the main government, and on September 2, he officially started working in Tehran Municipality.
On various issues in Tehran, including the problem of lack of public transportation along with the increase in traffic hours during the next two days, the President’s meeting with Tehran representatives on solving the city’s problems, public transportation budget, subsidence and earthquake in the capital, the issue of rights Municipal staff, appointments, finally change the status of corporate forces and the rights of city council members with Nasser Amani, Member of Tehran City Council To discussionوگو We sat down, the details of which are as follows.
From the next two days, the load of public transport passengers will be doubled / the municipality will not be able to develop public transport alone
According to the announcement of the Supreme Traffic Council, the traffic plan will increase from 10 November, but there is still no news about the increase of subway cars or the number of new buses in the next two days. Citizens What is your opinion in this regard and how much is the council trying to solve the problem of the citizens in this regard?
Yes, I have stated many times that if the statistics decrease coronavirus And the lifting of traffic restrictions will increase the number of public transport passengers. If we see the reopening of schools, the number of subway and bus passengers will definitely increase several times. They need to pay more attention to this area and devote more time to the development of public transport.
The city administration has promised that soon a large number of new buses and 500 buses that had been taken out of the transport cycle due to repairs will be returned to the fleet after being overhauled. We also need urgent action for subway cars. We should not forget this. The municipality is not able to develop public transportation alone, and in the long run, with the help of the government, this issue must be realized as comprehensively as possible.
The President pays special attention to solving the problems of the people / Ayatollah Ra’isi’s meeting with the representatives of Tehran
Recently, Ayatollah Ra’isi had a meeting with the representatives of Tehran. Has the issue of public transportation been considered in this regard?
Yes, in this meeting, Ayatollah Ra’isi announced that he is ready to personally participate in the meetings related to the problems of Tehran, and this issue is very important and shows that the president has a special concern to solve the problems of the people, but in any case the municipality can not take steps in the short term. It will rise, but with the support of the government, fundamental and great steps can certainly be taken in this direction.
I have been a regular subway and bus passenger / I fully understand people’s problems
Are you a public transport passenger and how much have you used this fleet for your city-wide traffic?
In the last 4 years, I have done most of my city-wide subway and bus travel, even during coronavirus Despite the fact that I had an underlying disease, I had surgery and used the subway and buses. Of course, I wanted to follow the protocols. Books are on the subway and bus. At the council, we are working to take all the necessary steps to work with the municipality to develop public transport as soon as possible and to find a cure for the pain of public transport shortages.
The city council is the oversight agent, not the enforcement agent
You mentioned the development of public transport for medicine for the pain of this fleet. What basic steps has the council taken to address this problem?
The city council is the oversight agent, not the enforcement agent. سیدمجتبی Shafiee, the deputy mayor for transportation and traffic, came to the council and spoke about the creation of new subway lines, such as lines 8, 9, 10 and 11. The next 20 to 50 years is to be talked about. Friends in the municipality should think about public transportation, and we are fully prepared to do whatever we can in the council.
The budget of 1400 public transportation was 16 thousand billion Tomans for Tehran, but it was not fully realized.
Does the city council have a plan to increase the public transport budget?
You see, the budget of 1400 public transportation was 16 thousand billion Tomans for Tehran, but it was not realized. Suppose we increase this budget, but in any case, nothing happens on paper. This budget should sit on the ground and become a subway and bus wagon. The largest share of the 1400 budget has been related to public transportation, but what percentage of it has been achieved so far ?! According to what has been reported to us, for 400 billion Tomans of subway participation bonds, 20 billion Tomans should be deposited as collateral in order to release these 400 billion Tomans of bonds, but this issue has not been realized yet. Therefore, increasing the budget alone is not the only solution to the problem of public transportation.
The latest statistics from Behesht Zahra about Corona deaths
What are the latest statistics from Behesht Zahra about Corona deaths?
The trend is declining compared to previous weeks and according to the statistics recorded by the Behesht Zahra Organization, only in the first days of November of this year, an average of 56 people have died daily due to coronary heart disease. Vaccination rates have progressed well with the cooperation of the municipality and the infrastructure department, and effective steps have been taken to control the corona.
We do not have a problem with the payment of salaries, staff and employees of Tehran Municipality.
Some of the staff and employees of Tehran Municipality had concerns about the payment of their salaries in the coming months. What is your opinion in this regard?
The problem of paying salaries has not existed now but in any period. Of course, there have always been concerns, but the payments made for the coming months are not a problem to pay salaries. And because this money and credit is spent in places other than buses, taxis and subways, persecution is a right of the people. Public transport, traffic and air pollution are three interconnected chains, and attention to each of these issues affects the other, and we in the Council have considered these three principles and three chains.
Other appointments are definitely ahead in the municipality / Invitation for members of the Appointments Evaluation Center to attend the council
What about the new appointments in the municipality?
Other appointments are definitely ahead in the municipality. Alireza Zakani, the new mayor in charge of the Appointments Evaluation Center, was supposed to be invited to the council, but there is no opportunity yet.
Are the members of the Appointments Evaluation Center present in the council?
We have had the same request from the mayor of Tehran in the council. It is not on the agenda of the council tomorrow, but it is possible that friends will attend the next meetings.
The need to create a special working group to deal with subsidence in Tehran
The issue of subsidence has been warned in recent weeks by many experts in Tehran and many other cities. Will the city council take this issue seriously?
You see, subsidence is a long and historical problem of Tehran, which has been increased by drought, lack of rainfall and such issues. Of course, most of the examples are about subsidence around Tehran. So I think it should Working group Especially with the responsibility of the technical and civil deputy and municipal services of the municipality and the relevant commissions in the Tehran City Council, as well as the Water and Sewerage Organization and the Environment Organization, only the municipality is in charge of dealing with subsidence. This is like the issue of earthquakes and air pollution, which different devices must work together to deal with. Working group Special threats should be made to address serious threats and decisions should be taken as soon as possible so that the lives of citizens, the environment and the city are not harmed.
Ask Zakani to change the status of municipal corporate forces
How far has the situation of the municipal corporate forces changed?
We have asked the mayor of Tehran, Alireza Zakani, to clarify the duties of the municipal corporate forces, which have been working in the municipal complex for many years, and most of these people are educated. They have entered the municipality and are contracted, but the company forces do not have job security and they are complaining about this issue. .
What is the minimum and maximum salary in Tehran Municipality?
The minimum wage is the minimum wage that the government has announced is about 4 million and 200 thousand tomans. I do not have exact information about the maximum wage and the payment of wages in the municipality depends on various factors.
What is the salary of the city council members?
Council members are paid a meeting fee based on their time in the council and a proportion of the mayor’s salary.
