The idea for constructing the early metro line was first proposed in England and Germany, in a way that only two major stations connected the two sides of a city to each other by an underground line.

Clean and reasonable travels by urban subway
Isfahan has long undergone the traffic restrictions as a result of metro constructions. The agents, however, are making 24-hour efforts to bring the proceedings into operation.
An Isfahani citizen says to IMNA interviewer that the attempts by Isfahan municipality is highly appreciated. “Before the arrival of Persian new year holidays (Nowruz), I was afraid that Nowruz guests would face the working chaos in the city. But the municipality’s thoughtful plans led to remove all operation works in the city, and to create many beautification projects all around”, he explained.
Another citizen emphasized that metro working hours should extend in order for people to use them during night hours.

Sherbaaf assured Isfahan citizens that the second line of urban trains will be fully available for people by the next four years. “The line is planned to connect “Imam Hossein” town to “Shahid kharazai” highway.
