East Azarbaijan Public Transport Decrepit

On average, vehicles used for public transportation in the northwestern province of East Azarbaijan are over two decades old and do not meet safety standards, head of the local Public Transportation Guild said. 
Naser Helali told Mehr News Agency 40,000 cars, buses, and minibuses are used for public transport in the province, from which 800 are dilapidated and should be sent to the junkyard.
“More than 32,000 of these vehicles were made more than two decades ago and have been used non-stop for the past 19 years,” Helali said.
