Tourist Cabs in Bushehr

The city of Bushehr in southwestern Iran will launch tourist taxis to facilitate travel for foreign visitors unfamiliar with the local language and attractions. Thirty cabs have so far been prepared for the scheme and the local office of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization will begin training drivers, familiarizing them with Bushehr's sites of attraction and improving their English language skills, IRNA reported. "Having college education and basic knowledge of English are mandatory for drivers interested in the plan," Nasser Amirzadeh, the head of Bushehr office of ICHHTO, said.
