Time does not tend to be viewed with too much of a fuss. People tend to be more relaxed about time. For example, if members of a family arrive an hour late for a meal it is not considered rude, it is almost expected.
-
Public transportation often runs late and the buses wait till they are full of customers before departing, and they are usually crammed. However taking trains and air flights are more reliable with time.
-
Most people doing business take planes and trains so they are a little less relaxed with time than those who take the buses.
-
Buses are extremely crowded and traffic is a mess, so being on time is almost impossible. Also, men sit in the front of the bus and women sit in the back.
-
Taxis are a cheap form of transportation, but once again, because the traffic is so bad, they are not a reliable way to arrive on time.
-
When it comes to formal meetings, people usually try to take the appointment more seriously but overall Iranians are not usually considered very punctual people.
