ATC Watcher, in reference to bus travel, Iranian driving and the death toll on the roads which I am led to believe is the highest per capita in the world(and seeing it everyday I would not argue) air travel is far preferable, my nerves are bad enough in the 5 min drive from hotel-office-hotel everyday I could not imagine what it would be like on a bus from Tehran-Ahwaz-Tehran(15 hours each way) I will take my chances with Iranair.
