Proposal for Importing Secondhand Buses Scrapped

The import of secondhand buses, which was proposed to renovate the aging transportation fleet in the capital, has been rejected by the government, a member of Tehran City Council’s Transportation Commission said.
Mohammad Ali Karouni added that the government has rejected the proposal and is thinking of alternative solutions for renovating the road fleet, YJC reported.
During a meeting on Sunday, Mohammad Alikhani, the head of Transportation Commission, had voiced his objection to the proposal, stressing that secondhand buses will only add to the air pollution problem choking the metropolis.
