    YEREVAN SUBWAY TO TRANSPORT 19 MLN PASSENGERS IN 2008

    Sep 12, 2008

    YEREVAN, September 12. /ARKA/. Yerevan subway plans to transport
    19mln passengers by the end of this year, said Paylak Yayloyan,
    director of the subway.

    About 70,000 passengers travel by metro every day - 20% increase
    compared to last year.

    According to Yayloyan, the number of passengers traveling by Yerevan
    underground has increased by 40% for the past two years.

    "Undergrounds in different countries usually work at a loss, and
    Yerevan underground is not an exception," the director of the metro
    said.

    The underground receives additional 180mln drams from the sales
    volume growth, but this is not enough to cover all the expenses,
    Yayloyan added.

    Karen Demirtchyan Metro in Yerevan opened in 1981. The underground
    has 10 stations. The total stretch of the metro is 13.4km.
