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.

Iran has started the construction of its first monorail system in the central city of Qom, some 150 kilometers south of the capital, Tehran, reported PressTV.
The first stage of the monorail, comprising a 6 kilometer line with five stations, will link the north terminal of the city located at the Qom-Kashan toll way to the city's grand mosque.
The first phase is expected to cost more than $120 million and is estimated to take 30 months to complete.
In the next phases, the monorail will continue to Pardisan town, south of Qom.
The monorail system will extend 18 kilometers in total, according to the governor general of the city.
