I saw the Chinese buses when I was there. They're alright, not as terrible as the polluting machines the Hyundai's are. Holy xxxx those things are gross. But alas, buses would be better than the vans.

They were not present to the Yerevan Town Hall Oligarchs but to the Yerevan City and its people.

Aravot: Corruption perception index reveals decline in Armenia
10:53 • 01.07.17
The annual Corruption Perception Index, published by Transparency
International, shows steady a decline in Armenia.
The country's score was 33 in 2016 against the 35 in 2015, the paper
says, citing the recently released report.
The 2015 record also showed a decline compared to the 37 points in
2014 as Armenia climbed up from the 113rd to the 115th position.
Hayastan or Bust.Comment

I agree with you. I only saw them on one street, the street with all the embassies. There does not seem to be this concentrated effort by the state to solve any traffic related problems, whether it be road traffic accidents, traffic, or even public transportation. They really are sacks of sh*t for the most part that sit around and do nothing. It's quite amazing.Originally posted by londontsi View PostComment

Armenia To Choose Between Energy Diversification And Loyalty To Russia
---
It really is no shock to any of us that the Armenian leadership is in the hands of Russia. They are effectively Russian puppets that willingly sell and oblige Armenia to anything that Russia says. Hell, Russia openly sells to weapons to Azerbaijan and then charges Armenia $200mln loan to buy weapons and the leadership bends over and asks for more d*ck in their a$$es.
Armenia now has a major potential for Solar and Hydro, according to the article, about $8bln of US investment, and even French investment. But because our leadership is chosen by Moscow for Moscow, Armenia might sink these deals to keep the death trap Metsamor open and further make us a b*tch of Russia. These b*tch oligarchs just handed over a Russian roach that murdered an entire Armenian family back to Moscow. Now, they are probably going to refuse $8bln dollars of investment so Russia can send them over a hooker or two.
I certainly pray to the lord that someone realizes that they should let non-Russian investment into Armenia so we can develop a homeland instead of being some desolate wasteland that hosts a Russian base. Which is what the Russians really want. They want Armenia emptied to be part of a Russian base.Comment

Or maybe they're pulling sh*t out of their a** because the one thing Armenia has is unemployment and a load of marshrutka drivers, why not replace those marshrutka drivers with those "100 hundred Chinese buses" truth is, they're lying out of their a**, either China never gave them all of the buses or the government should apologise to the Armenian population for misinformation.Originally posted by londontsi View Post
I just saw a lot of those buses, but now I'm left confused, why are they not using them?! That's like buying loads of chocolate all for yourself but never eating it and instead eat those cheap chocolate bars where you should have thrown them out.Last edited by DieHard69; 07-05-2017, 01:35 AM.Comment

In a country like Armenia the oligarchs have too much power. They might see it as a threat to their taxi services.
I do know that they have horrible transit planning, it wouldn't be surprising if they don't know what they're doing.
The authorities can't even combat road traffic accidents. Unbelievable.Comment

Disgraceful, where the hell are the other 90 of these? I only see maybe 10 in Yerevan? Whats the point of keeping them? And no, I rarely see any big taxi service around Armenia, you can literally buy a taxi estimator and a taxi sign and bam, your a taxi driver now doesn't matter if your disabled stupid or a criminal, you can be a taxi driver.Originally posted by londontsi View Post

New Yerevan Buses Mostly Unused
Most of about 250 commuter buses donated by China to Armenia early this year are still standing idle because of what municipal authorities in Yerevan described on Monday as a shortage of qualified drivers.
The brand new buses were unveiled in Yerevan’s main Republic Square in late March during a high-profile ceremony attended by President Serzh Sarkisian. The Chinese government donation was touted then as a major boost to a modernization of the city’s public transportation system promised by the municipal administration....
