Hey alle! Ich habe kürzlich einen Artikel über Medium über den aktuellen Stand des U -Bahn- und öffentlichen Verkehrssystems von Eriwan geschrieben und veröffentlicht. Ich spreche über die Ursprünge aus der Sowjetzeit, die jüngsten Tarifänderungen und einige der Herausforderungen, denen sich Menschen gegenübersehen-von veralteten Zügen bis zu den frühen Tagen des neuen QR-Codesystems.
Es geht nicht nur um die U -Bahn, sondern um das, was sie im Gesamtbild von Eriwas Infrastruktur widerspiegelt und wie sie sich auf das tägliche Leben auswirkt. Würde es lieben, wenn Sie es lesen und Ihre Gedanken teilen!

Will deff check it later.
Do you mention that if the metro plan was implemented, it would look like a plump ass? And that we got only the buttcrack?
Edit: Ok, I didn’t find any info on the original plan in your article. Due to the elevation profile, there would have been 3 lines – one is the middle one which we have, the other goes from Barekamutyun to Achapnyak and then does a round and joins back the center line in the south forming the western „cheek“ and the eatern one would go from Barekamutyun towards Komitas and then again around the city and join the center in the south.
> In the 1970s, Soviet law required cities to have at least 1 million residents to be eligible for a metro system. But Yerevan had only around 800,000 people at the time. So, to meet the rule, Armenian authorities temporarily moved ~200,000 people from other parts of Armenia into the city to qualify.
This is an urban legend and is probably not true. With all the new residential estate added in Yerevan since 1980 (a lot, and I mean *a lot* has been added since then) Yerevan’s population is only 1.1m today. So the Demirchyan era numbers were likely forged, like pretty much everything else during the soviet era.
Yes, there was a wave of new high risers added in Yerevan in the 1970s, including within the old blocks of central Yerevan, and the fact of moving ~200,000 people from the regions into the capital sounds believable. But Yerevan’s own population at the time wasn’t 800,000.
Essentially Demirchyan completely ruined Tamanyan’s concept of the city just for the sake of having a metro system and appearing more important in the Kremlin’s eyes. So much ugliness that’s practically impossible to get rid of now especially in central Yerevan, all for the sake of what exactly? To make it look like Demirchyan is a head of an important and advanced soviet republic.
