Official: Public transport fares in Yerevan to increase by AMD 50
Microbus fares in Yerevan will be AMD 150 from July 20, Head of the Transport Department of Yerevan Municipality Henrik Navasardyan told a news conference today.
Adviser to Yerevan Mayor Albert Gevorgyan, explaining the reasons of the decision, said that a number of public transport companies applied to them recently with the request to increase public transport fares based on the fact that prices for buses, microbuses, diesel fuel and car parts have increased in the course of the years. A series of discussions were held before the decision was made, he added.
It was also mentioned that the increase in public transport fares is not connected with the increase in gas tariffs.
