    YEREVAN METRO TRANSPORTS 60 000 PEOPLE A DAY

    During the summer months Yerevan Metro transports about 60 000 people.

    "Metro is the most convenient means of transport. I travel by metro
    5-6 times a day," said a Yerevan citizen.

    "I came to Yerevan from Kharkov four days ago. I feel very comfortable
    in the metro as it is very quiet and clean. Only the cars are fewer,"
    said another passenger.

    Yerevan Metro Director Paylak Yayloyan says the cars undergo daily
    technical testing and are in normal state. The number of passengers
    has increased by 7-8% over the past two years.

    18 million people traveled by metro in 2009.

    Remind that in March, the Armenian government and the European Bank
    for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) signed a loan agreement
    to cover immediate rehabilitation needs of Yerevan Metro. Under the
    agreement, EBRD will allot ~@5 mln. for the rehabilitation works.

    Mr. Yayloyan says the project will be implemented in three years. The
    project targets at upgrading the quality and the efficiency of Yerevan
    Metro services.
