Iran – segregation in the buses…

Transport is dirty cheap in Iran. City bus will cost you 300 rials – just few cents. But remember that the men can enter only via the front door – the back door is for ladies only… Do not try to take the seat in the back of the bus – those places are for the ladies in black…
Intercity a/c bus from Yazd to Isfahan cost 24000 rials – like 2,50 USD. Be prepared for erratic timetable. They have computerized ticket reservation but on your ticket you will have everything printed in Farsi (the worms – I say) – including your name – it is nice souvenir. Somebody friendly will read for you departure time: 11.30. But if the bus will depart at 11.50 you should be happy. The drive is your master: he decides where and how long to stop. He will pick up the people without tickets on the way (to repair his budget…) he will take the bike of his friend (it is good to have friends). Then there is bagage attendent: little rude young man dealing with passengers. He think passengers are for him (he is not to serve passengers). Well maybe it depends also on bus company.
I reached Esfahan in the evening. Taxi drivers asked 20000 rials from the terminal to the town. But there are also share taxi (blue and white) for 2000 rials. Good luck Mr Wojtek!
