Minibuses to Mahan (US$0.25) leave from around Khaju (Kermani) Sq. Savaris to Bam
(US$4.50) and Rayen (US$3) leave from Sarasiyab Sq (about 5km east of Khaju Sq, ask
for Meydan-e Bam). Savaris to Mahan (US$1) leave from Khaju (Kermani) Sq. Savaris to
Rafsanjan, for Shahr-e Babak, leave Azadi Sq.
If you hire a savari dar baste or guide it makes sense to see Rayen, Mahan and Bagh-e
Shahzde as a day trip from Kerman, or en route to and from Bam.
Train
The daily train to Tehran (US$15, 15 hours) leaves at 5.15am and stops at Yazd, Kashan
and Qom, but not Esfahan. A 2nd-class train runs daily to Bam (US$1, about two hours,
8.20am) and Yazd (US$2.20, five to six hours, 1pm). There are three trains a week to
Mashhad and, in theory, two to Zahedan (US$5, 5.50am Sunday and Thursday).
Buy tickets from a travel agency in advance, also saving yourself a trip to the train sta-
tion ( 211 0762) , 8km southwest of town. Shuttle taxis leave from Azadi Sq for the sta-
tion, or go dar baste for US$2.
