Message from the CEO

The future of transport is a shared responsibility

To our valued taxi drivers, transport industry colleagues and the Taxi Bisim Tehran community,

For me, transport is, above all, a responsibility towards people's lives. That responsibility finds meaning in a safe journey, a family's peace of mind and the trust between a passenger and a taxi driver.

Throughout my management and executive career, I have learned first-hand that the quality of this industry depends on the knowledge, experience and dedication of the people who sustain it every day. Taxi drivers have valuable insight into the city and the needs of its people. I consider professional dignity, attention to livelihoods and meaningful driver participation in decisions to be foundations of sustainable transport development.

Passengers, in turn, have a right to safe journeys, reliable service, clear information and accessible follow-up and accountability. I believe progress becomes meaningful when better working conditions for drivers and a better passenger experience are pursued together.

My approach to technology is practical and responsible. Intelligent systems, data analysis and fleet renewal should help reduce waste, improve transparency and raise productivity and service quality. The value of any innovation should be measured by its effect on drivers' daily work, passengers' experiences and the organisation of urban mobility.

From Tehran, with the country's needs and potential in mind, I extend an invitation to cooperate to taxi drivers, transport companies, responsible institutions, universities and technology professionals. Professional dialogue, respect for each other's responsibilities and sustained collaboration can help us find more practical answers to the sector's challenges.

As the TBT family develops, I seek to connect operational experience with technology and purposeful investment. My commitment is to listen, make considered decisions, remain accountable and pursue continuous improvement, so that every step forward makes a clear contribution to public trust and our colleagues' professional future.

Built on experience, looking ahead

The company began in Tehran to help organise passenger journeys. A radio network, a service centre and coordinated vehicle dispatch formed its early connection with passengers and drivers.

Its recorded history includes fleet renewal, an Imam Khomeini Airport presence, and the development of fleet management and electronic payment systems. Digital services continue this practical transport experience through the connection with TBT ONE.
