UNION OF TRANSPORT COMPANIES CHAIR REVERTS TO FARE PROBLEM
18:21 ~U 15.11.13
Chairman of the Union of Transport Companies Hrant Yeghiazaryan
addressed a letter to the Yerevan Municipality a few days ago, wherein
he demanded that the fares be raised up to AMD 150 per passengers,
with the government to subsidize the rest AMD 50.
Mr Yeghiazaryan told journalists on Friday that the Yerevan
Municipality called on the transport companies to wait for the relevant
committee to calculate the passenger traffic and discuss the fares.
“We are discontented with the Yerevan Municipality’s approach to our
problems. If things go on like this, we will remain without vehicles,”
he said.
The coming winter will create serious problems for passengers because
fixed-run drivers will stay away from work.
“We do not have the necessary number of snow tyres,” Mr Yeghiazaryan.
Drivers refuse to work for the current wages, and many cars are
not operated.
