The mayor of Qom says the Iranian government can only make a final decision about the monorail destiny.
Referring to the latest status of the Qom monorail project, Dr. Seyyed Morteza Saghaeiannejad stated that to complete the project, we need 12,000 billion rials, which neither the municipality nor the government can provide in the current situation.
In addition to funding the project, we also face legal and practical problems to complete the monorail, Dr. Saghaeiannejad noted.
He went on to say that some urban managers have suggested changing the project’s usage, adding the issue should be carefully reviewed in Iran’s government since it requires huge budgets.
The mayor finally suggested to outsource the project to the private sector, so that it can define cultural uses for it in accordance with the needs of the city.
