I'm surprised there was no thread for this project.
Project Outline
The construction of Qom's monorail system is part of a nationally-coordinated plan to ease traffic congestion in Iran's major cities. The project, Iran's first monorail system, is being implemented by a joint venture of MAPNA Group and Kayson Company within the framework of an EPC contract. The first phase of the project, which comprises a 6.2 line with seven stations, is expected to be completed in 30 months. This straddle-beam monorail is designed to carry 13059 passengers when it opens to the public in 1012 and 19170 passengers in 2026.
The holy city of Qom, located 150 km south of capital, Tehran, is a significant destination for a large number of pilgrims. The project is aimed at improving services for the citizens and pilgrims visiting the city.

As of Oct 2010, the city council is deciding on how the monorail will pass by the shrine, one proposal is to make that particular section underground.
