4,000 Clunkers Phased Out of Mashhad Public Transportation Fleet

In line with efforts to renovate public transportation fleet in the last Iranian year (ended March 20, 2019), 4,000 vehicles have been phased out in Mashhad, the central city of Khorasan Razavi Province.
According to Touraj Hemmati, the head of the provincial office of the Department of Environment, a total of 4,300 smog-inducing buses and taxis were phased out of the metropolis last year.
"The move will definitely ease air pollution in the city," he told YJC.
