Half of Tehran BRT Awaiting Renovation

More than half the buses plying the Tehran Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network are dilapidated and add to air pollution in the megalopolis, begging for renovation, head of Tehran Bus Company says.
Peiman Sanandaji told YJC of 1,250 BRT buses in the capital around 700 were built more than a decade ago. "They should either be phased out or get repaired."
Close to 6,000 buses are in the Tehran public transportation fleet and more than 9,000 are needed for decent service.
