Tehran Metro

Tehran Metro operates the Red Line (Line 1) extension connecting the capital's urban rail network to Imam Khomeini International Airport. The airport branch runs from Shahed-Bagher Shahr station through Shahr-e Aftab and Imam Khomeini Airport to the new town of Shahr-e Parand, giving passengers a rail link between the terminal and central Tehran via cross-platform interchange with the main north-south line.
