Voluntary taxi drivers transport Arbaeen Hussainni pilgrims for free in Iraq.

A group of people who adore Imam Hussein (PBUH) have established a new type of service to the pilgrims of Imam Hussein (PBUH); they are taxi drivers who use their cars to transport pilgrims from the city of Basrah to the holy city of Kerbela for free.


Ahmed Abduz-Zehreh El-Edani, founder of the service, said they primarily take care of the families who are poor or those who lost their loved ones during the war against ISIS.

 

He added that they now have 25 cars, and the number is increasing, emphasizing that many people in Basrah encouraged them, and some people joined them to offer other services.

 

He also said that they have a group of doctors who accompany the convoy to the holy city of Kerbela and return to Basrah when they pilgrims are finished.
