Iranian Railway Company Increases Ticket Prices By 50% For Foreign Nationals

Iranian media reported that the railway transportation company, Raja, has increased train ticket prices for foreign nationals by 50% without any explanation or prior notice.

This Iranian state-owned company is responsible for selling train tickets.

Officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran primarily use the term "foreign nationals" to refer to Afghan immigrants in Iran.

According to Shahrara News, Raja Railway Transportation Company stated in an announcement, "At all railway stations, tickets will be checked and matched with identification documents before boarding."

The announcement specifies that passengers must carry a copy of their ticket along with valid identification, and those without tickets or with mismatched tickets will be denied entry to the train.
