New Buses to Expand Zanjan, Qom Public Transport Fleet

Public transportation fleet in two Iranian cities, Qom and Zanjan, are set to expand with the arrival of new buses made by domestic producers.
According to Qom Mayor Seyyed Morteza Saqqaian-Nejad, 52 new hybrid, Euro-4 buses have been purchased to breathe new life into the city’s public transportation fleet, Borna News Agency reported.
The mayor noted that the purchase was made possible by redeeming 2.15 trillion rials ($7.81 million) from the sale of government-allocated participatory bonds by Qom Municipality.
“This is the second batch of new buses to join the city's fleet. Last year, 110 buses were purchased from domestic automakers,” he said.
