Tehran BRT
Due to the steady increase in traffic congestions in Tehran, in 2007 Municipality of Tehran started setting up bus lanes in the streets and later on after buying big, fast busses turned them into “Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)” lanes.
Today, many BRT lanes exist throughout Tehran thus it is possible to travel to most neighborhoods using BRT network.
BRT lanes are not open to other vehicles allowing busses to move fast and disciplined; they can get pretty crowded in but in return they are the second fastest way to travel around the city in rush hours, after Metro. Also, BRT network has many stops along the way, enabling you to get on the bus with only minimal walking from wherever you are on its route.
