When they introduced the unified ticket system, they brought the "Tel-Cell" scandal, it is a fact that the "Yerevan Bus" company has nothing to do with money at all, and it was assumed that the money should increase, but there is an arithmetical progressive increase of the shadow.
Mesrop Manukyan, a member of the "Mother Armenia" faction of the Yerevan Council of Elders, mentioned this in a conversation with journalists at Yerevan City Hall.
He emphasized that such a thing cannot happen. "When there is no cash at all, more money should be collected, but the opposite is happening. The private sector has left, there is no private sector anymore, as a result of which the minimum income should have increased, but the opposite has happened.
No numbers were published during the last two procedural sessions. Even the numbers of collections are avoided to be announced, because compared to last year, they are about 30 percent under-collected when there is no cash at all, the drivers have nothing to do with cash, the money is collected from the municipality and Tel-Cell," he said. opposition figure.
He continued. "A trio is working: "Tel-Cell"-Suren Grigoryan-Sargis Manukyan, "Management Technologies" CJSC. "Tel-Cell" recruits, coordinates everything, is managed by Sargis Manukyan, and the head of it all is Suren Grigoryan. He sees all this, I call you to have a consensus, come stand here, let's stand together and answer the people. give for shadow and plunder.
The collected money should be transferred to "Yerevan Bus", the metro, but that money is not lost. Instead of registering an increase, the shadow has increased. Approximately 40 percent of the money has decreased, as they say, there is a 50 percent shadow. In this case, instead of increasing twice, the amount decreases twice.
In my estimation, this is not a technical problem," said Mesrop Manukyan. He noted that at the beginning of the year, they were proud that they had collected 90 million drams in one week instead of 75 million last year, but in that one year, there were 25 percent newer buses. buy, which means that those 90 million should have been much more.
According to Mesropyan, 440,000 people use the transport on working days, and 220,000 on non-working days.
"If you register so many passengers and can't collect that money, then you are a looter, you take that money, you put it in your pocket. See how much the loot is by your numbers. When you eliminate the loot, let's think about the increase in price about".
