Yerevan Elections - 2023
"Public transport should be free." Representative of "Haghtanak" party
Andranik Ugujyan, a representative of the "Haghtanak" party's electoral list in the Yerevan Council of Elders elections, said today, ""Yerevan's transport problem: how and when will it be solved? noted during the discussion on the topic. "Our slogan is a friendly city. And we start our reforms from that starting point."
According to him, the reforms have a short-term and long-term nature, "But the main nail will be that, in our opinion, public transport should be free. When we talk about this, many say that it is populism, but we can give a vivid example. When I talk about the example of Luxembourg, everyone says that they are a richer country than us. But when we study the experience, we see that Luxembourg took this step not because it is a rich country, but because it was economical. Free transport reduced the flow of cars, so there are quite a lot of savings."
