YEREVAN, July 21, /ARKA/ The South Caucasus Railways (SCR) is
considering installation of an electronic ticket selling system,
worth $400,000, the company's chief engineer Sergey Harutyunian said
to a news conference today.
He said since tickets are sold by the company and travel agencies they
need to have an electronic system. He said the SCR is considering now
its installation. In his words the system will be installed gradually
and the details will be known only next year.
Armenian transport and communications minister Manuk Vardanian said
the installation of this system is part of the company's investment
program.
'Investment plans will be implemented but this does mean that services
to passengers should not improve. We need to create good conditions for
our population. It is a problem that needs to be resolved,' he said.
The South Caucasus Railways is run by Russian Railways. The
concessional agreement was concluded in 2008 for 30 years, with a
right of extension for another 20 years after the first 20 years
of operation.
