Bus Fleet to Swell in Tehran, 3,000 More to Hit the Roads 

Tehran’s worn-out bus fleet will be replaced by new vehicles, increasing the total number of buses in this metropolis to 5,000.
Tehran’s Mayor Alireza Zakani has announced that in the current fiscal year (started March 21), a 150% jump will increase the bus fleet from around 2,000 to 5,000, Donyaye Khodro reported. 
“We are committed to carry out the renovation and have received the permit for it. This renovation will either be done through imports, or we will supply the buses through domestic producers," he added. 
Tehran’s Deputy Mayor Mojtaba Shafiei recently stated that the dilapidation of bus fleet after just a decade is due to population density, the long distances traversed by buses and the subsequent wear and tear, hence bus renovation was placed on the agenda.
