Chaharshanbe Suri: Tehran’s streets are gridlocked in the absence of urban management
Donya-e-Eqtesad wrote that Tehran’s streets and highways have been completely gridlocked since 3 PM today.
Neither municipal taxis nor online taxis are visible.
Citizens are stuck in several hundred-meter-long queues at public transport stations trying to return home from work.
Many citizens avoided using personal vehicles today to escape traffic, but now they are trapped by public transport.
In the absence of smart and competent urban management for today’s Chaharshanbe Suri in Tehran, movement in the capital is disrupted.
Some private taxis are opportunistically charging 800,000 tomans for routes that usually cost citizens 50,000 tomans.
