Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan has stated that the city administration does not plan to increase public transport fares in 2026, although a possible adjustment of 10 Armenian drams has been discussed.
The announcement came during preliminary discussions on Armenia’s 2027 state budget at the National Assembly.
Possible 10 AMD Increase Discussed
During the parliamentary session, Mesrop Manukyan, a member of the opposition Armenia faction, asked whether public transport fares would change before the end of the year.
The lawmaker referred to an anticipated decision by the Yerevan City Council regarding transport pricing.
In response, Avinyan explained that the price of a single public transport journey could potentially increase by just 10 AMD.
However, he emphasized that the municipality has no plans to introduce such an increase this year.
Current Fares to Remain Unchanged
The mayor’s remarks indicate that passengers should not expect a fare increase during the remainder of 2026.
The possible 10 AMD adjustment concerns single-ride tickets rather than all public transport subscription options.
Avinyan did not announce a specific date for any future fare revision.
For now, Yerevan’s public transport pricing is expected to remain unchanged through the end of the year.
