Tabriz

City transport, awaiting the Metro currently under construction and still for a long time is limited to Taxis, shared taxis and buses.

Taxis can be chartered for a modest fee around 20 USD if you need a driver and car for the whole day to visit the region!

Shared taxis are even more of a bargain, but you will need to speak a few words of Persian and risk your life by stepping on the side of the road and scream your destination at passing-by Paykans. However, the experience of sharing a car with 4 locals of both genders and all ages + driver can be fun! Odds are the fare won't be more than 10 cents 1.000 Rials for a 10-minutes trip. Some drivers even refuse to be paid, the pleasure of chatting with a foreigner about the various plagues of Iran being apparently enough to make their day. be careful of tarof, though

Buses are difficult to take no map, no schedule and definitely not worth the experience when compared to shared taxis despite being quasi-free.
