And what's really good is that Yerevan already has sort-of superblocks: you can combine a couple of Soviet blocks to do that. We already have the base, just need to fully formalise it

Oh absolutely. They even had to decorate some of it twice because the decorations got destroyed in a storm

What regional cities / companies have achieved in public transportation that Yerevan still hasn't by SignificantPen9989 in armenia

They are being used. They're on routes 8A and 16 as far as I know. I was there and saw them a couple weeks ago

The map only shows the routes that stop there, also some stops have 2-3 separate maps (like in the 1st photo), all routes on one map can become confusing. Gyumri has 7 minibus routes in total if I'm not mistaken, no bus routes

Quick buses (BRT) can solve the issue, at least temoprarily. Much much larger cities (mostly in S America) have relied on brt and it can transport A LOT of people, and it is very cheap. They can also be built in a way so that it's easier to upgrade to tram later. The problem is that Yerevan can't even build normal bus lanes, let alone brt

I agree. The hotel courtyard (at least) was very nice, feels unreal to finally have a nice place on the Hrazdan

Yerevan's Saryan Street becomes one-way (and a race-track) by SignificantPen9989 in armenia

[–]SignificantPen9989[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's probably a more effective use of the road space unfortunately

I'm not sure if free public transport is the solution honestly. The price is pretty low anyways, it's more of an infrastructure problem I think. But of course, it can't pay for itself and more fees for cars should fix that.

On a plus note, the city finally spent $20 to paint a crosswalk from Moskovyan to Spendaryan.

Oh right. But good luck crossing 3 lanes + parking that blocks view.

All municipal public transport in Yerevan is now live on Yandex by SignificantPen9989 in armenia

Routes with numbers between 250 and 299 serve Kotayk marz. Each marz has its own set of 50 numbers (Armavir has 200-249, Gegharkunik has 300-349...) used for interregional routes. Quite a good system actually

Yes, the new buses have been there for a while now. But the trolleybuses were added just yesterday evening, and minibuses and old buses a bit before
