He pointed out that the amount of renovation loans for Samand Suren and J4 vehicles has increased from 1 billion tomans to 1.5 billion tomans, stating: "This action is aimed at facilitating the renovation process of the taxi fleet and providing a more suitable environment for applicants."
New Loans for Applicants

Obsolescence of Tehran's Taxi Fleet
The CEO of the Management and Supervision Organization of Tehran's Taxi Service also referred to the condition of the taxi fleet, stating: "More than 50 percent of the taxis in Tehran are outdated, indicating a serious need for renovation." In this regard, he announced that the Taxi Organization of Tehran's Municipality has considered 1,000 J4 vehicles for renovation in its latest vehicle renovation package. Previously, G7, Aion, B511, and Samand Suren vehicles were also included in the renovation package of the taxi fleet.
The increase in renovation loans for taxi vehicles demonstrates the serious determination of officials to improve the conditions of public transportation in Tehran. This action not only helps in renovating outdated vehicles but can also lead to an improvement in the quality of services provided to citizens. Given the low quality of many current taxi vehicles, this program can create a positive transformation in public transportation in Tehran.
