Yerkir: Transport route owners terrorizing taxi drivers in Abovyan city
12:23 - 24.09.11
The paper claims that the owners of transport routes in Abovyan city
are terrorizing taxi drivers.
Initially, it says, there were minibuses operating within Abovyan with
the fare costing 50 drams. About a year later they were replaced by
Bogdan busses and the price went up to 100 drams.
The paper explains that after the imports of those Bogdan buses the
Yerevan-Abovyan minibuses were banned from entering the city of
Abovyan and collect passengers.
The passengers are now reaching the bus terminal through the Bogdan
buses which means they take two fares by the time they reach Yerevan -
one to reach the bus terminal from their homes and the other to reach
Yerevan.
Further, the paper says that residents had reconciled themselves with
these conditions. In many cases some three-four passengers would join
and take a taxi to get to the bus terminal, paying each 100 drams.
But now, the paper claims, those taxies have been drawn out of the
territory of the bus terminal so that passengers would take only taxis
of the De Luxe Company that belongs to Abovyan Mayor Karapet Guloyan.
The paper also claims that it learned that on Friday the taxi drivers
were instructed not to take more than one passenger, or at least check
if they belong to the same family - an attempt apparently to ensure
the owners of transport routs within the city have enough passengers.
