Municipal Office plans to purchase 170 new buses

ArmInfo. Yerevan Municipality plans to purchase 170 new buses.  Mayor Tigran Avinyan announced this at a working meeting on April 13.

Given the potential for collecting funds for public transportation  services, he instructed the head of the Municipality's transport  department to prepare a new tender for the purchase of 170 buses.

These buses are intended to replace the existing Higer buses and  Gazel minibuses.

Avinyan noted that, thanks to increased control over public  transportation fares, funds equivalent to the cost of three new buses  were raised in just one week. He also called on city residents to  support the driver. "The driver is not your enemy; he is doing his  job and doing everything he can to buy new buses," the mayor  remarked.
