207 buses allocated for transporting pilgrims to Qom and Mashhad

Tehran Municipality has allocated a number of buses and minibuses to facilitate the transportation of citizens and mourners attending the farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the cities of Qom and Mashhad. Other municipalities have taken similar measures. These transportation arrangements have been organized from designated locations such as bus terminals.

• Tehran Municipality mobilized 207 buses and minibuses for this purpose.
• Transportation was organized from the South Tehran Bus Terminal.
• Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Municipality also allocated 90 buses to mourners.
• Sources do not provide clear information regarding whether cities other than Qom and Mashhad are included in these programs.
• Some sources explicitly attribute these measures to "transportation of mourners," while others refer to "transportation of citizens, mourners, and bereaved.". Coverage difference: News agencies IRIB and IRNA focused only on the numbers of allocated buses, whereas newspapers Hamshahri and Jam-e-Jam included additional details about the point of departure (South Bus Terminal) and more specific target groups (citizens, mourners, and bereaved); some sources specifically mentioned "the martyred leader" or "the martyred leader of the nation," all of which refer to one person (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei).
