FARE RISE ON AGENDA AGAIN
14:49 18.09.13
The issue of fare rise is again on the agenda of the Yerevan
Municipality.
Head of the Public Relations Department, Yerevan Municipality, Artur
Gevorgyan told Tert.am that the relevant commission is expected to
make proposals.
A source at the Yerevan Municipality told ArmInfo news agency that
the fare rise will be announced after September 21. Specifically,
the bus fare may reach AMD 250 (AMD 100 now), fixed-run taxi fare
AMD 200 (AMD 100 now) and trolleybus fare AMD 100 (AMD 50 now).
The source also said that protests will not produce any result this
time as the decision has been approved by President Serzh Sargsyan.
Tert.am reported earlier that Yerevan's City Council was to hold
public hearing of the fare issue.
In its Wednesday issue the Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper addressed the
problem as well.
The No Fare Rise movement member Karen Harutyunyan told Tert.am that
Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan's decision raising the fares was expected
to be suspended and revised.
"The commission's aim is to justify the fare rise and to think of
the ways of struggling against the people," Harutyunyan said.
