The buses of the city of Kerman, which were free since the beginning of the summer, will continue to transport citizens without tickets until the end of November. However, the free bus program has supporters and opponents in the Kerman City Council. Some members consider the municipality's claim regarding the effect of this program on reducing traffic to be false, and others fear the loss of the municipality's revenue from the point of selling bus tickets. Those who support free buses, but point to the positive effects of the abolition of ticket fees, including the support given to low-income groups in the current economic conditions, emphasize the continuation.
