The better the metro system the happier the citizen…

15-06-2011

For more than 30 years, the Yerevan metro infrastructure has been operational with almost no major capital rehabilitation.

With no more than basic ongoing maintenance, the metro saw a significant deterioration of its assets. Thanks to the Yerevan Metro Rehabilitation Project co-fi nanced by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (€5 million loan), the European Investment Bank (€5 million loan) and the EU Neighbourhood Investment Facility (€5 million grant) new equipment has been purchased. The overall objective is to upgrade the metro system and to improve the quality of life for Yerevan city residents by encouraging greater use of public transport and reducing vehicle emissions.
