Tehran's regular public transport fleet has been fully electrified, and this change in the heart of the capital, namely District 12, is considered an important step towards improving the city's air quality. Mehdi Alizadeh, CEO of Tehran Bus Company, emphasized the significance of this transformation and pointed out the unique characteristics of District 12, which experiences a high volume of daily traffic due to the presence of markets, commercial centers, and educational institutions.
Service Hours
Alizadeh announced: "The operating hours of these lines are from 5:30 AM to 9:30 PM, and the electric bus fleet will provide services during this time." This scheduling allows citizens to easily use public transport services throughout the day and access various centers in this area.
