>>From February 14 a new automatic system of payment will be applied
at Yerevan Metro. Passengers will benefit from the discount system
and will be able to recharge their cards at any booking office of
the metro.

Passengers will be able to use both the token and card systems. The
implementation of the new system does not envisage raise in fees. On
the contrary, it provides an opportunity of discounts. Nevertheless,
the introduction of the new system raises a most concerning
question. Will metro employees be made redundant?

"No one will be fired. Neither shall we lower their salaries," said
press secretary of Yerevan Metro Ninel Vardanyan.
