Getting a Taxi in General
In Isfahan, there are different ways you can call a taxi. Taxis come in two colors: green and yellow.
On the streets, there are two ways to take a taxi:
- Shared taxi
Departure point and destination are fixed for shared taxis but you can hail for them anywhere on their route. Passenger limit for shared taxis is 4 people. Passengers might get in or off the car at different points on the route before or after you. These taxis usually wait for you at main junctions and squares.
- Private taxi
You can hail for any taxi anywhere in the city by shouting “Darbast /dᴂrbᴂst/” which literally means “doors closed” in Farsi. It takes you anywhere you want. The fair tends to be much higher than shared taxis and you are advised to negotiate with the driver before you begin your trip.
Getting a Taxi with your Smart Phone
There are a couple of internet-based taxi applications operating in Iran (Iranian Uber).
In these smartphone applications you can easily choose “where you are” and “where you want to go” using GPS, city map or simply by typing the name of your destination. The application will send you the name and phone number of the driver as well as the type and plate number of the car. For extra safety, you can share your trip online to let your friends know where you are any time during your trip.
One of the service providers is Snapp. You can download Snapp application from https://snapp.ir/
Note: This application (Web App. and Mobile App.) is available on Persian language, English and also French. 
Getting “BiSim” Taxi by Phone
You can also get a taxi from anywhere in the city by calling 133 or 03137137.
