Securing Financial Resources for Projects
In this regard, necessary arrangements have been made to secure financial resources for priority projects of the Tehran metro network, especially those that can be opened in the second half of this year. Projects include the preparation of 5 kilometers of the southern expansion route of Line 6 (from the Dolat Abad station to the station at the Shrine of Hazrat Abd al-Azim Hasani (AS)) and the connection of Imam Khomeini Hospital to the Health Defenders station, which are currently underway.
Given the progress made, it is hoped that these projects will reach completion by the end of this year and provide better services to citizens. These actions, especially in the current circumstances, bring new hopes for the improvement of public transportation in Tehran.
