YEREVAN, March 30. /ARKA/. None of the passenger transporting companies
applied for increase in fare due to rise in gas prices in Armenia,
the country's Minister of Transport and Communications Gurgen Sargsyan
told journalists Saturday.
On February 27, Armenia's Public Services Regulatory Commission
approved the increase in gas price from the previous 84,000Drams per
1,000 cubic meters up to 96,000Drams per 1,000 cubic meters.
Rise in gas price will certainly influence other goods and services,
yet everything will depend on the impact of the volume of gas
consumption on service prime-cost, Sargsyan said.
The Minister pointed out that the price is one of the components of
the tendes won by passenger transporting companies.
For amending the contract term the companies need to submit a
respective application to the bidding commission, the Minister said
adding that no such application has been received from any company
so far. ($1=366.11Drams).
