The companies carrying passengers in Yerevan are facing a crisis.
Unless the current fare is raised, they will stop their work with
the first snow so as to avoid accidents, President of the Association
of Passenger Carriers of Armenia Hrant Yeghiazaryan told journalists
on Friday.
"The key problem is that they have no money for preparing their
vehicles for winter," Yeghiazaryan said.
When asked by ArmInfo if they expect state subsidies, he said that to
carry one passenger costs them 200 AMD. "If the fare is raised from
100 AMD to 150 AMD, we expect that the rest will be provided by the
state," Yeghiazaryan said.
Earlier Yerevan's passenger carriers asked the city's mayor to raise
the public transport fare. The mayor has not yet responded to them.
Earlier the Mayor tried to raise the fare to 150 AMD but faced a
wave of public displeasure. So, he set up a special committee to find
optimal price.
