ADB to provide $1.2mln to Yerevan under public transport reform  program

ArmInfo. Yerevan Municipality has  officially applied to the Asian Development Bank for technical  assistance in the amount of $1.2 million. This funding will allow the  preparation of a public transport reform program.

As officials noted on August 19 during a meeting of the capital's  administration, the work is being carried out within the framework of  the second stage of public transport, during which the capital should  have a "greener" and more environmentally friendly transport system.  Other donors may also be involved in the full preparation of the  program.

It was previously reported that Yerevan Municipality plans to  purchase 200 buses (8.5 meters long) and 250 electric buses (18  meters) this year.
