YEREVAN. – Mayor of Yerevan Karen Karapetyan expressed his dissatisfaction with Yerevan city transportation on his Facebook page on Friday. The Mayor spoke on the sphere where there are no investments as the field is somehow unclear.

“A new route network of medium and large buses will be set up. We shall try to set it up in a way as not to change the current price in future. We cannot possibly build a route network so as to ensure repayment of large investments and cover business expenses. Thus, City Hall will subsidize the network to be comfortable and accessible to citizens,” Karapetyan wrote on his page.

As for current transport operators, the Mayor told that they are welcomed to import medium and large buses and stay in the market. Otherwise, new operators will replace them.

Karapetyan also spoke on subway high ticket price. The previous price was based on credit obligations undertaken by the government. The government continues to subsidy the subway, however, to provide secure operations more funds required, while the state budget cannot allocate additional money.
