The growing urban population and the absolute rise in the rate of car ownership have caused a number of problems in the smooth flow of traffic in the cities. Better public transport system, especially the subway system, which is opened and expanded in some Iranian cities would help ease traffic congestion. While introducing Tabriz subway system, this article evaluates the conditions of subway stations according to twenty four indexes which are provided by hieratical analytic model. The article shows that 29 Bahaman and Shahriyar stations mark the highest point in furniture quality variable while Khayyam station comes last. Station four has the most immediate access to emergency aid while station 6 has the least. Land uses around stations 2 and 7 are more relevant to the function of the stations. In terms of esthetic principals, Shahriyar station scores the highest among the stations in the first phase of the first line. Because of its proximity of Elgholi depot, station 1 has easier and greater access to infrastructure facilities while station 5 has the least among the seven stations. Station 3 is in close proximity to commuter taxis and also in good order among other stations. The findings of the article have implications for giving priorities to organizing the subway system in Tabriz.
