A new stock of cars with modern furniture and the latest technology have joined the Yerevan Metro fleet.
Participating in today’s launch of the new cars, which were decked out in festive decorations, was First Deputy Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan — who also happened to be one of the train’s first drivers.
Margaryan toured the cars and assured himself that everything was done to ensure comfortable rides, according to a press release published on the municipality’s official website.
The first deputy mayor also surveyed the cabin equipped with automatic control systems. Drivers of the new cars underwent training to become acquainted with the new technology.
Yerevan Metro Director Paylak Yayloyan remarked that the new train adapted to European standards is the first but won’t be the last. The new train is operational for 15 years. Yayloyan also stressed that this and other ongoing improvements to the system are carried out within the scope of the metro development program, which was established by the government in 2008.
Recall, the trains arrived in Yerevan two weeks ago and were being tested till today.
