NGO REP SPEAKS OF TRANSPORT PROBLEMS IN ARMENIA
14:33 ~U 18.07.13
The Yerevan Municipality has raised fares by 50%, up to AMD 150, but
if the fare rise implies a higher quality of service, Gevorg Dosturyan,
Chairman of the Civil Stand NGO, told journalists on Thursday.
He pointed out a number of problems.
"Fixed-run taxis pick up passengers between stops. As to taxis,
illegal taxis constitute a high percentage. The workday must last
eight hours for both," Dosturyan said.
"Poor drivers have to meet the plan and earn some extra money for
themselves. Their formal wages are indicated in the documents. But
their monthly wages must officially be 150,000 drams, and they will
not seek extra passengers," he said.
Technical checkup, medical examination and seat belts are mere
formalities as well, Dosturyan said.
