50 ‘BOGDAN’ BUSSES RUN IN YEREVAN

An important for the capital event took place yesterday. 50 busses of
“Bogdan” brand reached Yerevan from the Ukrainian Cherkasi city. Yervand
Zakharian, Yerevan mayor, said that the necessary financial sources for
purchasing the busses were allocated as a loan by “the inter-state bank” at
the Yerevan Municipality. He didn’t specify about the percents and the terms
of the loan.

“Bogdan” busses will function on the six new routes. As the number of the
busses grows day by day, it is not excluded that the transportation fees
will be increased in the future to attract new investors and enlarge this
new business. The fees are high today as well.

The Municipality has just finished studying and calculating the number of
the passengers. Hopefully, the passengers will not be disappointed with the
quality of the transportation service.

By RA President’s instruction, Yerevan Municipality will purchase 200 new
busses by the end of the year for the capital.
