YEREVAN. – A signature campaign has been launched online to recognize invalid Yerevan municipality’s decision to increase public transport fares.

Yerevan municipality decided to raise public fares by 50-100 percent. The officials gave illogical explanations of the decision, campaign organizers said in a statement.

The petition has already been signed by 1,000 participants.

Public transport fares in Armenia’s capital rose by 1.5-2 times starting from July 20. The bus fare made AMD 100 instead of 50, while minibus fare increased from AMD 100 to 150.
