The Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Faction in the Elders' Council of Yerevan stresses the need to reduce the public transport fare to the former 100 AMD.
The PAP press service reports that Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan has initiated a meeting with a member of the Elders' Council from the PAP Faction and expressed his position about the rise in the public transport fare. The PAP considers the fare rise to be unacceptable and thinks that Margaryan's initiative to set up a working group to find solutions to the problem is inefficient.
"It is necessary to introduce the former tariff and work out different social packages for students and different public strata. We'd like to remind that during his electoral campaign Margaryan officially stated that there would be no rise in the public transport fare", the PAP's statement says. The PAP also advocates holding an extraordinary session of the Elders' Council.
