Tehran Subway to Link Up With Two Satellite Cities

Providing decent public transportation services for Tehran’s satellite cities has long been a concern of urban managers, as the population is steadily growing in those areas.
Therefore, Tehran Municipality has been working with domestic construction companies on the completion of subway access to Pardis in the northeast and Parand in the southwest of the capital.
Mohammad Reza Tavakkoli, an official with New Towns Development Company, told Tasnim News Agency that the extension of Tehran subway to Pardis will commence in a couple of months.
“The project is a major one, as a large part of the railroad goes through a tunnel. The railroad connection will significantly reduce the time and cost of commuting for the residents of Pardis, in addition to curbing traffic congestion and air pollution in the capital,” Tavakkoli added.
