New Wagons to Help Fulfill Tehran Subway Network’s Mobility Plan

The expansion of Tehran’s subway network has become the core part of the capital's mobility plan and more people are discovering it as a cost-effective, traffic-free mode of transportation.
Nonetheless, the ground reality is that the subway trains have already begun to degrade.
According to Jafar Tashakkori-Hashemi, chairman of Tehran City Council's Transportation Commission, 500 out of 1,500 operating subway wagons are in dire need of an overhaul, Tasnim News Agency reported.
As per the latest measure taken to address the issue, Tehran Municipality have forged a contract with Tehran Wagon Manufacturing Company for the production of 106 subway cars and work will start as soon as an initial payment is made to the company.
