Many through-buses to/from Mashhad don't bother with the terminal, instead dropping
off and picking up passengers at Enqelab Sq and/or just east of Mofateh Sq (west of the
centre). A well-organised minibus terminal directly east of the bus terminal has frequent
as-full services to Bandar-e Torkaman (US$3, 40 minutes).
Minibuses/savaris (shared taxis) for Gonbad-e-Kavus (US$0.50/1, 1½ hours) use
Ist-
gah Gonbad
(Blvd Jorjan)
, a small yard at the eastern edge of town.
Train
Gorgan-Tehran services (US$2 to US$5, 11 hours) travel overnight in both directions. For
day travel through the Alborz mountains, travel to Sari and take a daytime train.
Getting Around
Convenient shuttle taxis (from US$1) run from predictable points near Shahrdari Sq. Most
city buses start from Panzhdah Metri 2nd Alley. However, for Nahar Khoran Sq and upper
Valiasr St, savaris (US$1) and bus 29 (pre-paid ticket US$10, every 20 minutes) start from
Valiasr Sq.
