Cheap and Efficient Bus Travels in Iran

7 Days Solo Backpacking Winter Iran via Persian Gulf
November 08 to November 14, 2015


​Bus Ticket in Iran is hard to book online because there is no English translation. However, it can be easily purchased on the departure day. Almost everything in bus ticket is in Persian language, ensure to ask your destination, bus station, depart time, arrive time and seat number. It is very seldom to find English-speaking Iranian in public places. Once you found someone, seize the opportunity. Per my observation, if bus trip has a 6hr minimum travel time, most probably it has overnight trip.

Khorramshahr to Shiraz (overnight ordinary bus)
- ordinary seat, no toilet inside, lots of stops, very safe with free snacks (biscuit/bread)
- 1900H to 0700H (12hrs travel time) at 260,000 Rial ($7.45=PhP350) ordinary aircon

Shiraz to Isfahan (afternoon VIP bus)
- reclining and comfortable seat, no toilet inside, lots of stops, very safe with free snacks (biscuit/bread/juice)
- 0900H to 1600H (7hrs travel time) at 300,000 Rial ($8.6=PhP404) VIP seat

Isfahan to Tehran (overnight VIP bus)
- reclining and comfortable seat, no toilet inside, lots of stops, very safe with free packed fruits
- 2300H to 0500H, (6hrs travel time) at 275,000 Rial ($7.9=PhP370) VIP seat
- Tehran North Bus Terminal is near to Mosalla metro Station. Ride a BRT bus first then alight to 1st stop.

Tehran to Khorramshahr (overnight ordinary bus)
- ordinary seat, no toilet inside, lots of stops, very safe with free snacks (biscuit/bread)
- 1500H to 0700H, 15.5hrs at 380,000 Rial ($10.89=PhP512) ordinary aircon
