Although the railway lines are connected and cross the southern Caspian Sea and are shorter and smoother in terms of distance, but because the cost of transit is still higher than in Iran, we find that d other corridors are used.
Due to the poor infrastructure in Iran, in neighboring countries such as Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, the speed of trains is up to a quarter compared to the conditions that can run on the railways of northern Iran .
On the other hand, Iranian customs shipments and shipments can be stopped from a week to 10 days or even 40 days, and this is one of the serious problems with the transportation of goods in the corridors of our country.
In recent years, the transit quantity in the country has reached about 12 million tomans and we can increase it to 50 million tons per year.
But unfortunately we find that Iran's transit has been drastically reduced.
Creating attractive and economical public transport to increase competitiveness with other countries, especially neighboring countries, we must prioritize our economic policies.
We must take seriously important international conventions and agreements in the field of transport and transit.
We must use the large capacity of our country's transport fleet and rapidly strengthen the infrastructure in this area and try to eliminate the existing gaps and problems.
Otherwise, neighboring countries that seek to create parallel roads, however competitive these roads may be with Iran's geographic location and pure transit routes, will gradually tear our heads off, and this is a very important question. that must be considered. is serious.
Iran has the best and purest transit route through the Silk Road, and this is an ideal advantage for our country, which can be an example of an economy of resistance.
Unfortunately, the lack of incorrect planning and management policies and the lack of attention to infrastructure development can take this competitive advantage of our country and give Iran's competitors the opportunity to bypass our country.
