The Facebook post of Grigor Yeritsyan, a member of the "My Step" faction of the Yerevan Council of Elders:
"A little while ago, Avinyan announced from his vacation that on February 11, the Yerevan Council of Elders will discuss a new proposal for transport tariffs, but there is nothing new in that new proposal.
1 trip will remain 300 drams, but the duration of the ticket is proposed to be 180 minutes, instead of the current 90 minutes. Does this resolve any issues? Of course not. How many vehicles does a person change to get to work in 3 hours? Does anyone change transport 3 times to get from one point to another in Yerevan?
The ticket for 24 hours (1 day) will be 900 drams with the possibility of unlimited travel during the day. Of course, 24 hours sounds very good, but public transport in Yerevan does not work 24 hours a day. Even if he worked, a person does not use transport 9 times a day.
No discount on one-time or 24-hour tickets has worked for anyone and will not work. The draft decision of the Yerevan Council of Elders should not be changed overnight, but should be thrown away and a new project based on people's needs and opportunities should be developed."
