2.Transportation

Metro: The Tehran Metro is one of the fastest, most cost-effective modes of transport in the city. The metro system operates from 5:30 to 22:30 every day. However, depending on the day and time, the trains arrive at intervals ranging from 3 to 10 minutes. for More information about Tehran Metro click here

Bus and BRT Bus: BRT system in capital enjoys a spread network throughout the city with lots of bus stops which makes its usage highly accessible for people. You can use bus for your interior transformation and you cannot use it from airport. for More information about Tehran BRT click here

Public Transportation card: for transformation in tehran, it's better to buy an electronic card because not only are they vastly cheaper and more convenient, but they can also be used for the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) lines and the regular Tehran public buses. You can get this card from metro station and charge it. Getting a ticket is easy, Just walk up to a counter or use a ticket machine in the station.

Note: Don`t forget that if you do get the card, remember to check out when leaving the station; otherwise, the next time you use the card you’ll incur a small fine.
