Why didn't the subway become an "umbrella of commuting" in the rain of Tehran? Housing Market Expectation: 1 Yesterday, the heavy rain in Tehran instead of making the "metro" the preferred vehicle for a large number of citizens going to work, made the "car" the main option. 2 Despite knowing that the "traffic" on a rainy day is worse than before, the citizens of Tehran preferred the "high cost" of wasting time on the streets over the "great weakness" of Tehran's subway network, which has greater consequences in the rain than on non-rainy days. 3 The reason for the unpopularity of the metro on rainy days is a "lack of stations" in at least a third of the capital's neighborhoods. 4 However, the "poverty of the stations" of the metro network is not limited only to "the source of daily trips in the city". 5 The results of a study conducted by an urban planning advisory group commissioned by the Municipality of Tehran show:
More than 80% of metro stations do not have "adequate access" to major travel hubs of Tehran's citizens. 6 The number of stations in Tehran's public transport network that have a "suitable distance" to Tehranis' daily travel destinations is only slightly more than the number of fingers on two hands; 13 stations. 7 This model of dispersing the metro stations means that the residents of Tehran have to walk a "long distance" on a rainy day to reach the metro. 8 Therefore, since people avoid walking as much as possible on a rainy day, as a result, the "metro" cannot be the "traffic umbrella" of Tehranis on such days. 9 Of course, the metro managers say that yesterday the network lines witnessed the growth of passengers. But the citizens of Metroswar informed that the usual morning and night "rush" was not visible on the network yesterday. 8 scenes of a Tehranis surprise on a rainy Saturday, a red map of the Tehran Ha'Arutz metro.
