Improving Tehran's Dedicated Bus Lanes / Zero-Inflation Plan Projected for 10 Million Tehranis
Tehran Municipality spokesperson said: The situation of our dedicated bus lanes must definitely improve, and there are new solutions in this regard. The question must be asked: Should one lane on all the city's main arteries be allocated to bus traffic 24 hours a day, as was done in the 1380s (2000s)?
The spokesperson of Tehran Municipality said: The condition of our special lanes must improve and there are new solutions in this field. The question should be asked, should we dedicate one lane to bus traffic in all the main arteries of the city for 24 hours based on what happened in the 80s?
According to Ambassador Arjan - Abdul Mathar Mohammadkhani, the spokesperson of Tehran Municipality, in a joint press conference with Maryam Ardabili, head of the Women and Family Center of Tehran Municipality, stated in relation to the details of the Zero Inflation Plan implementation: This plan is reserved for the citizens of Tehran. Of course, the government and the mayor of Tehran gave the good news that with the special order of the president, a seven-member committee was formed in the government to expand this plan to all other cities with the participation of municipalities. The Minister of Interior, other ministers and the mayor of Tehran are present in this committee and we hope that this model will be implemented well in other cities as well.
Zero inflation plan is predicted for nearly 10 million Tehranis
He also stated: This project is planned for nearly 10 million Tehranis. According to the latest statistics, 9,600,000 people live in Tehran, and the identification of Tehrani citizens is done based on the systems available in various collections, as well as registration in the Shahrazad super-application.
Mohammad Khani said: Survivors can benefit from this plan by registering their national and postal codes in the Shahrazad system.
Emphasizing that we are in a good position to achieve integrated urban management, the spokesperson of Tehran Municipality stated: The municipality has acted positively and voluntarily in the last five years and accepted the issues related to integrated urban management. This accountability model helps a lot in integrated urban management.
Stating that there is an integrated management view between the Speaker of the Parliament and the President, he reminded: We hope that this project will reach its final point with the support of the members of the Parliament. The president also believes that a part of the government's duties should be delegated to the municipalities. In the very successful model of cooperation between Tehran Municipality and the government, a valuable model in integrated urban management is being formed, and even if it does not last the life of this period, we will take the measures voluntarily and positively.
Determining the damage of damaged buses on the way to Iran
The spokesperson of Tehran Municipality said regarding the determination of the damages of the damaged buses on the way to Iran, some insurance models are not committed for war conditions, but an insurance model is being prepared to compensate the losses of these buses so that the people of Tehran do not suffer. If we want to delay the prediction of all conditions in international models, we have to abandon the path; Therefore, we follow both the path of importing buses and the compensation model.
In response to a reporter's question about the management of BART special lines and the fact that this route is not isolated, he said: The condition of our special lines must definitely improve and there are new solutions in this field. The question should be asked, should we dedicate one lane to bus traffic in all the main arteries of the city for 24 hours based on what happened in the 80s? World experience shows that this is not the case. 4 to 6 hours are enough to allocate these lines to buses.
Mohammad Khani emphasized: There are solutions for making smart and smart cities in the world, and the HOV plan is planned in this direction so that we can use smart cameras to dedicate the route to the transportation of all citizens in certain hours and actually create an invisible wall.
The spokesperson of Tehran Municipality stated that the traffic of vehicles such as ambulances can be predicted in the smart model, and reminded: On the way from Azadi Square to the East Terminal, an artistic landscape will be created in the city by removing fences and installing bollards, and besides, optical fiber and electric cables will be implemented from the base of this project, and on the other hand, the route of metrobuses will also be created on this route. We follow the changes in this route with the help of the traffic police.
Emphasizing that an unprecedented level of transparency has been established in the way of waste contractors, Mohammad Khani said: "In this sector, we are fully aware of the number of cleaners and the extent of their activities in this sector. Unfortunately, in the past there were written statistics, but when we compared these official numbers with the field reality, we saw a huge difference. We have almost eliminated the gap between these two statistics and the numbers are consistent with the field reality.
The spokesperson of Tehran Municipality announced that this new process will help us to plan and act more accurately, and stated: There were leaks in a thousand parts, and these leaks have been fixed, and we are in a better situation than in previous years.
Stating that the most important thing in the implementation of the Zero Inflation Plan is that we are in a special situation in the country, Mohammad Khani stated: In some executive areas, other than the military sector, other departments do not have a war formation, while we are in a war situation and sanctions are being intensified, and we must redefine our duties accordingly and pay less attention to the boundaries of duties.
By insisting on traditional methods, it is not possible to manage war conditions
The spokesperson of Tehran municipality announced that war conditions cannot be managed by insisting on traditional methods, and reminded that the municipality has duties in this field and over the years, the laws of this sector were neglected. We definitely have a duty to help the government because the government alone cannot manage all the problems. It is a religious and legal duty to be able to solve people's problems.
He continued: Zero inflation plan is a working capital, and the municipality directly buys and sells, and earns money immediately after the purchase. According to special conditions, the municipality spends working capital in this sector. A significant number of these costs will be returned to the municipality after people make purchases.
Mohammad Khani stated that those who criticize should provide solutions and said: Tehran Municipality has other duties such as buying buses. Moreover, 2,500 buses have been purchased and are operating in the city. A unique action has been taken in the purchase of electric buses, which has been lost in the chaos of events. In District 12, which is the heart of Tehran, all buses are electric, and we are trying to ensure that all buses are electric within the traffic limits.
The spokesperson of Tehran municipality announced that we have bought buses from both domestic and foreign manufacturers and stated: We are still far from the needs of the people, but we are doing our best. In any case, we cannot be indifferent to the accursed President and Treasury Secretary of the United States, who says that he designed the sanctions in such a way as to put the most pressure on the Iranian people. The message given by the president that any group can help and take the burden off the shoulders of the government and the people has been of interest to us in the municipality and we have taken action in this regard.
Finally, the construction operation of the Azadi Square-East Terminal special line
In another part of his speech, Mohammad Khani stated that the construction operation of the Azadi Square-East Terminal special line is underway, and said: "We are trying to bring a part of it to a conclusion soon." We hope to be able to put a part of this route into operation at the same time as the three-cabin buses arrive in Tehran.
The zero inflation plan is based on the five-year experience of Tehran Municipality
Emphasizing that the Zero Inflation Plan is based on the five-year experience of Tehran Municipality, he noted: We have taken a series of measures in this sector in recent years, and this is not the first time. We ran this idea a few times and got feedback. We tried to eliminate middlemen in the government of Shahid Raisi and during five years. During these few years, we have offered the price of many basic goods in fruit and vegetable markets with 25 to 40% lower than the city level.
Mohammad Khani stated that the plan was not decided overnight and stated: The studies and reviews of this plan started in April and we created a capacity to cooperate with the government. 316 fruit and vegetable fields and 55 citizen stores give us the capacity to use our very good distribution network in the field of livelihood and reducing people's concerns.
The spokesperson of Tehran Municipality said: Long-term contracts were concluded in this field and on the other hand, we also pursued imports for large purchases. In this project, we fulfill our duty and advance the scientific and expert path.
The monthly quota for the plan is zero inflation
Announcing that the monthly quota for the zero inflation plan has been predicted, he said: After registering their information in the Shahrazad system, people will receive the names of stores and nearby squares. We are trying to connect the ATM machines of the stores to the system for this project implementation.
Referring to the implementation of the Mother's Plan, Mohammad Khani pointed out: shopping at Shahrvand stores and fruit and vegetable markets, using health and treatment services, and using social and cultural programs and art centers such as Tehran municipal cinemas are among the services of this plan.
The spokesperson of Tehran Municipality, regarding the reduction of the time for issuing permits in the capital city, reminded: the report of this department will be presented by the Deputy Mayor of Urban Development or the Mayor of Tehran. With the platforms that are being provided, we hope to be able to advance this path without the interference of people and the process of issuing permits will be reduced.
