ZHOGHOVURD: TRAFFIC FARE RISE NOT LEGALLY JUSTIFIED
09:46 24.07.13
The paper says it has managed to learn that the decision to raise
the passenger fees is not justified by any legal act.
Citing the legislation, it says the fares for the public transport
can be revised only based on justified calculations submitted by
the company responsible for operating the route. That is requires a
decision by the municipality, which according to the paper, is missing
in the present circumstances. Tհe paper says the city authorities
have apparently reached an oral agreement with the route owners to
impose higher prices.
"The municipality has afforded such a luxury for the simple reason
that the route owners are its own people - [Mayor] Taron Margaryan,
his brother-in-law Robert Sargsyan, who is a lawmaker of the Republican
Party of Armenia, Head of the Yerevan City Hall's Transport Departmenrt
Henrik Navasardyan etc," says the paper.
