FOR 4 MONTHS OF 2005 THE TRANSPORT PARK OF YEREVAN RECEIVES 67 MORE
TRANSPORTATION MEANS
YEREVAN, May 16. /ARKA/. For 4 months of 2005 the transport park of
Yerevan received 67 more transportation means, as stated the Head of
Transport Department of Yerevan Municipality Office Tigran Kazaryan.
According to him, 17 “Reno” and “Fiat” buses were sent to the capital
of Armenia as well as “Honda”50 buses. According to Kazaryan, the
buses have already passed maintenance control and been registered and
the next month they will work on 7 lines of public transportation.
“According to the decision of the Mayor, the transport park will
receive new units regularly”, Kazaryan said, adding that the Mayor’s
Office doesn’t consider the possibility of reducing the quantity of
micro-buses working on 125 routes.
In 2005, the bus park of Yerevan is going to receive 150 more
transportation means. In 2004, because of the lack of necessary funds
only 41 buses were sent to the capital of Armenia instead of the
planned 100 units. According to the municipality office, currently
3160 buses and microbuses operate in Yerevan. In Q1, 2005, the volume
of transportation compared to the same period of 2003 increased by
10,5 mln. passengers. A.H.–0–
