The “Mother Armenia” faction of councilors announced that it has presented a draft decision on the prices for using surface and underground means of transport, according to which the price of city transport should be from zero to 100 drams.
“Dear citizens,
The coalition of the ruling minority in Yerevan, taking advantage of the situation in the Council of Elders, has initiated the process of sharply increasing the prices for using city transport. “Mother Armenia” is against all that and has presented its project related to the transportation fee.
Accordingly,
– current bus, trolleybus, subway fares should not be increased,
– pensioners, 1st, 2nd and 3rd class disabled people must use all means of transport for free,
– the citizen should have the opportunity to choose and, if desired, use the card system, under the conditions of which the price of the unit fare can be reduced.
“Mother Armenia” offers the use of 1-day, 7-day, 1-month, 6-month and 1-year transport cards, and if a citizen uses city transport 4 or more times in 1 day, then the unit transportation cost may be less than 100 drams.
Our suggestions are:
1) In case of purchasing a physical card-ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application for 1 day, with the possibility of making an unlimited trip by all means of transport within 24 hours from the moment of activation of the physical card ticket or electronic ticket with the online application: 400 drams,
2) In case of purchasing a physical card-ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application for 7 days, within 30 days from the moment of activation of a physical card ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application, with the possibility of unlimited travel by all means of transport for 7 days: AMD 2,000,
3) In case of purchasing a physical card-ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application for 30 days, within 90 days from the moment of activation of a physical card ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application, with the possibility to make an unlimited trip by all means of transport for 30 days, AMD 5,500,
4) In case of purchasing a physical card-ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application for 180 days, within 1 year from the moment of activation of a physical card ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application, with the possibility of unlimited travel by all means of transport for 180 days, AMD 20,000,
5) In case of purchasing a physical card-ticket or an electronic ticket with an online application for 365 days, from the moment of activation of a physical card ticket or electronic ticket with an online application, 365 days with the possibility to make an unlimited trip by all means of transport: AMD 35,000.
We call on citizens to support our proposals. And if the authorities do not accept our proposals and go for price increases, then we will call on the citizens to fight to prevent these price increases and to prevent the implementation of the CPC program to get super profits.”
