Amir Eisaei, the senior manager of Tehran Metro Line 2, announced the equipping of 20 stations of this line with bicycle parking stands and said: "With the construction and installation of these stands, the possibility of using bicycle parking at all stations of Line 2 has been provided." This initiative, as part of Tehran Metro's development programs, aims to increase bicycle usage and reduce traffic and air pollution.
History of Bicycle Parking in the Metro
Before the implementation of this plan, bicycle parking existed only at five stations: Shahid Bahonar, Sarsabz, Shahid Madani, Imam Khomeini (RA), and Sharif University. Now, with the implementation of this plan, other stations of Line 2 have also been equipped with bicycle parking, which can help increase the use of this environmentally friendly mode of transport.

Details of the Implementation Plan
Eisaei added: "The construction and installation of the necessary stands for 20 stations were completed within a month using the engineering capabilities of the team. A total capacity for parking 103 bicycles has been created within the stations." This initiative demonstrates domestic capabilities in creating public transport infrastructure and can serve as a model for other similar projects.
In addition, Eisaei pointed out that, following the efforts of the Tehran Metro Operating Company, bicycle parking stands have also been installed by the municipality in the outer areas of the stations at Sharif University, Janbazan, Sarsabz, and Shahid Bahonar. This initiative reflects the collaboration between various organizations and institutions to facilitate public transportation.
The Future of Bicycle Parking in the Metro
The senior manager of Tehran Metro Line 2 further stated: "The development of bicycle parking in the outer areas of other stations on Line 2 will gradually be carried out in cooperation with the municipal districts." This initiative can be seen as a positive step towards promoting bicycle culture and reducing traffic and air pollution in Tehran.
Ultimately, equipping metro stations with bicycle parking is not only beneficial for passengers but can also help improve environmental conditions and reduce transportation issues in the metropolis of Tehran. With the continuation of this trend, it is hoped that we will witness an increase in the use of bicycles as a safe and sustainable mode of transport in the city.
