Facilities for Active Taxis
Furthermore, Tashakkori Hashemi referred to the facilities provided for active taxi drivers. These drivers can charge their vehicles with a 50 percent discount. This measure has been taken to support taxi drivers and encourage the use of electric vehicles in public transportation in Tehran. Additionally, the rate for this section will be determined based on the distance traveled.
According to the head of the Urban Development and Transportation Commission, the operation of electric vehicle charging stations should be handed over to the private sector to provide services more efficiently. This transfer could lead to increased competition and improved service quality in this area.

This approval indicates the consensus among city council members on the necessity of supporting the development of electric transportation and reducing air pollution in the capital.
In conclusion, Tashakkori Hashemi emphasized that these measures can be considered effective steps towards sustainable development and reducing pollution in Tehran.
