CURRENT URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT FARE IN YEREVAN HALF OF WHAT IS EFFICIENT - STUDY REPORT
YEREVAN, April 7. /ARKA/. Efficient public transport fare is the
double of what is used as tariff in Yerevan now, says the study of
passenger transportation in land-based public transport vehicles in
Yerevan carried out by the ISC.
The study was funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and was
carried out in Yerevan in December 2013. Daily, monthly and annual
passenger traffic was determined for some 2,230 vehicles.
ISC expert Sergio Tio said at a special meeting of the public transport
commission at Yerevan municipality that efficient fare for a trip
in a minibus in Yerevan is 207.2 drams. The amount was derived from
comparison of average maintenance costs per vehicle per month reported
by the municipality and the number of passengers transported by one
vehicle per month.
Efficient bus fare is 252.3 drams in Yerevan and efficient fare for
trolleybus is 196.2 drams.
A total of about 16 million trips were made in public transport in
Yerevan during December, Sergio Tio said.
The detailed report will be published on the municipality website
soon and will be submitted for public discussion.
On July 20, Yerevan public transport fares were increased from
100 drams to 150 drams. This move triggered a fierce backlash in
the capital city. The protests staged in Yerevan have forced Taron
Margaryan, the city mayor, to withdraw his decision and set up a
commission to study urban transport pricing. --0--
