Armenia authorities will not purchase new trolleybuses because of the “hares”

The press secretary of the mayor of Yerevan Aik Kostanyan told reporters that the municipality was faced with a serious problem of non-payment of the passage. The arrears are so great that the Armenian authorities revised the procurement plans for new trolleybuses: there are simply no planned amounts in the budget, so 30 cars are excluded from the list, and instead of 45 units of transport, only 15 will be bought.

AIK Kostanyan emphasized that the situation with the bordering non -payers in public transport will have consequences. So at the city hall they reacted to protest in Yerevan: from February 1, the ticket price increased from 100 to 150 drams (from 20 to 30 rubles), and the opposition urged to ride “hares” in order to influence an unreasonable increase in tariffs.

Almaty authorities do not know what to do with the LiAZ and Yutong KamAZ buses for the first time showed a bus with a domestic automatic machine from Aurus in Izhevsk showed an alternative design of Ziu trolleybuses from the 1970s

The City Hall of Yerevan emphasized that if the situation with the revenue for tickets does not stabilize, then even 15 new trolleybuses will be at risk. Also, a bill with fines for freezers was made for consideration: “hares” are going to fine 15 thousand drams (3070 rubles)! Another problem of transporters in Armenia is the use of preferential tickets by other persons. They want to fine 18 thousand drams (3700 rubles) for this violation.

With the problem of freezers, after abandoning the traditional scheme for paying for travel with the conductor, they came across all over the world. However, usually municipalities have levers of influence on the “hares”, while the City Hall of Yerevan is waiting for the decision of the National Assembly, while the situation “becomes uncontrollable.”
