ArmInfo.A traffic disruption has occurred in Yerevan early this morning. Public transport is failing to serve people, with Gazels mostly running along the streets and hardly any busses seen.
Hakob Karapetyan, Spokesman for the Yerevan Municipality, told ArmInfo that the cause of the transport failure is a strike by a group of drivers. "A group of drivers have gone on strike. The reasons and further steps will be reported later," he said.
ArmInfo received the information that number of drivers gathered at the bus depot in Tevosyan street in Yerevan and are demanding a meeting with Yerevan Mayor Hayk Marutyan. The reasons behind the strike remain unknown.
Interestingly, 210 new buses were put into service in Yerevan on December 12 with a view to improving the transport service in Armenia`s capital.
