當地交通

For non-Iranian visitors, taxis are probably the most convenient means of transport. However be sure to haggle for a good price prior to getting into the car. Average fares inside the city range from 300,000-700,000 rials (as of 2025). If an unmarked car stops while you are hailing a taxi, don't be alarmed. Many taxis in Shiraz are unmarked and also as a means to supplement their income, is not uncommon to find private car owners touting themselves as taxis. However, it is always best to find a taxi through a reputable "telephone taxi" agency. For a set fee, drivers of these agencies will take passengers to their destination, drive them around town and also wait for them while they shop or run errands. All hotels and local residents will have a phone number of one of these agencies. There are also taxis driven by women that specifically cater to woman passengers. The best way (if you have mobile internet) will be to use the taxi app called Snapp. With Snapp you can see the exact price before ordering the taxi and you can also call a taxi driven by a woman. The city also has a reasonable bus service. The city has two metro lines open, as of May 2024:

Line 1 runs between Ehsan on the north side of the city and the Shahid Dastgheyb Airport in the south of the city. Line 2 runs between Imam Hossein (Zand Street) and Heroes (Mianrud). They intersect at Imam Hossein Sq. Line two of the metro is semi-active and not fully active from the stations, and due to the lack of carriages in the Shiraz Metro, line two is marked hours.
