Buses have served the city since the 1920s. Tehran's transport system includes conventional buses, [[trolleybus]]es, and [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT). The city's four major bus stations include the South Terminal, the East Terminal, the West Terminal, and the northcentral Beyhaghi Terminal.

The trolleybus system was opened in 1992, using a fleet of 65 [[articulated bus|articulated]] trolleybuses built by [[Czech Republic]]'s [[Škoda Works|Škoda]].<ref name="Murray">Murray, Alan (2000).

The other three trolleybus routes ran south and operated in mixed traffic. Both route sections were served by [[limited-stop]] services and local (making all stops) services.<ref name="tm265" /> A 3.2-kilometer extension from Shoosh Square to Rah Ahan Square was opened in March 2010.<ref name="tm298">''Trolleybus Magazine'' No. 298 (July–August 2011), pp. 89–90.
