The mayor of Yerevan, Tigran Avinian, believes that a personal car in the capital should gradually become a luxury, and public transport should become a reliable means of transportation. During the parliamentary debate on the 2027 budget, he said that the municipality will expand dedicated lanes for public transport, which will speed up buses by up to 30%, but will add inconvenience to drivers. "Our roads are not made of rubber," the mayor noted. At the same time, he assured that the issue of restricting the entry of cars from the regions of Armenia to Yerevan is not on the agenda.
