Citizens of Armenia have started taking the metro more often and proof
of that are the numbers of passengers at the Yerevan metro and the
"A1+" surveys.
The majority of citizens that participated in the survey said that
they take the metro and according to statistics, there is a 5% rise
of metro transportation compared to last year.
"I started taking the metro when there was traffic and road
reconstruction in the city," said citizen Artur, while Armen said
that he prefers the metro over automobiles.
"I take the metro to stay away from the heat and getting into
traffic. It is too bad that I can’t take the metro everywhere."
Student Christine says that she takes the metro because it is cheap
and high-quality.
As the news service of the metro told "A1+", the current 50 drams
for metro tickets is not expected to change anytime soon.
As for tidiness and functioning of train wagons, the news service
told us that "passengers are in good hands." They also said that the
ten wagons are cleaned and go through technical checks every day and
that although they are trying to get new train wagons, they need at
least a million dollars for that.
