How locals move

Getting around Maralan the local way

  • Get aroundCity transport awaiting the Metro that's only partly operational is limited to taxis, shared taxis and buses.
  • Get aroundTaxis can be chartered for a modest fee (around US$20 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.
  • Get around(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.
