Come rain or shine, in hot weather and cold, Tehran’s metro does what it always does. More than three million passengers ride the metro every day, from playful children to old men wearing old hats. And the passengers — or at least the adults — do what they always do. They do their best to protect their private space while impatiently, eagerly or apprehensively waiting to reach their destination — each with his own way of biding the time.
Tehran’s metro operates a policy of gender segregation. The majority of these photographs were taken in men-only cars.
