Tehran City Councilor Against Import of Secondhand Buses

A Tehran city councilor voiced his opposition to the import of secondhand buses, which has been proposed as an option to renovate the aging transportation fleet in the capital.
During a meeting held on Sunday, Mohammad Alikhani, the head of Transport Commission in Tehran City Council, said secondhand buses will only add to the air pollution problems choking the metropolis, Tasnim News Agency reported.
“Officials should widen their horizon and make efforts to equip the public transport fleet with electric buses,” he added.
