At the meeting of the Council of Elders of Yerevan on March 12, a decision was made to increase transport tariffs. According to the adopted project, the changes will come into effect from September 1, 2024.
The new tariffs will apply to various types of public transport, including buses, minibusses, and the metro.
Earlier, BMG reported according to the project, for 8800 drams (over 20 dollars) for 30 days, you will be able to have unlimited access to public transportation in the city.
One of the key advantages of the new system is the ability to use various types of public transport when purchasing any package. This means that users can travel around the city, choosing the mode of transport that suits them best without limitations.
Furthermore, tariffs for shorter periods of transport usage are also offered. The cost of a day pass will be 900 drams (2.2 dollars), allowing for 8 rides within 24 hours.
When purchasing a 7-day pass, its cost will be 5000 drams (over 12 dollars).
Moreover, the system provides discounts for certain categories of citizens, including students, as well as social or special population groups.
Yerevan has been undergoing a reform of its public transport system for several years. The first step was the purchase of new buses by the city authorities, and the next stage will be the introduction of a unified ticketing system, which will be integrated with online platforms.
Currently, the fare for buses, minibusses, or metro is 100 drams (approximately 25 cents).
