Video surveillance, cooling and heating systems will operate in Yerevan transport

On August 21, the session of the professional working group of the public transport reform process of Yerevan was held, during which the revised version of the project of the new public transport network was presented to the members of the group, as well as the comparative indicators of the network options, based on which the consultant was instructed to finalize the network and submit a final report.

During the session, the main standards of network service were discussed, which refer to the movement, management and control mechanisms, operation and maintenance of the system.

“Efficiency of the planned route network is of practical importance only in the case of an efficient model of transport system components and management. The network management model developed by us is the key to effective network operation, maintenance and control.
For network maintenance, we have studied models of diesel fuel, compressed natural gas and electric buses offered by European, Russian, Belarusian and Chinese manufacturing companies, we have proposed the main standards of network maintenance,” said the head of the working group, Deputy Mayor of Yerevan, Vahe Nikoyan.

According to the presented standards, all buses will be adapted for moving around with wheelchairs, the halls will have a cooling and heating system, and there will also be light and sound options for signaling stops. Buses will have ticket validator devices and checkpoints near the front doors. The bus will also have a video surveillance system to monitor discipline. Drivers will work in shifts and meet clear professional standards.

As Nikoyan mentioned, after the approval of the standards by the professional working group, it will be possible to make financial calculations and proceed to the next stages of the reform implementation.
