Armenak Dovlatyan, an activist of the Let's Pay 100 AMD movement is ready to buy all the microbus lines in Yerevan, improve the quality of public transport services and at the same time retain the current tariffs unchanged. Dovlatyan expressed his readiness during the Public Council's hearings in Mashtots Park in Yerevan.
He thinks that the Municipality and the owners of the microbus lines are dramatizing the situation. They state that it is impossible to work with the current tariffs, but in the reality they obtain excessive profit, he said. Following the hearings, the activists held a procession to the building of the Yerevan Municipality, where their friends are holding a picket.
To note, on July 20 the Yerevan Municipality announced 50% rise in the public transport fare. The decision was suspended following the actions of public protest. Now the activists demand resignation of Head of the Municipality's Transport Department Henrik Navasardyan and Head of Yerevantrans Misak Hambardzumyan.
