Travel - Internal Note Internal travel, especially by air, may be disrupted by fuel shortages and other problems. Air Yerevan has a small domestic airport as well as an international airport, which offers some flights to other destinations in Armenia. Rail The main railway station is the Sasuntsi Davit Station on Tigran Mets Avenue. There are daily trains to most major towns. The trains are often overcrowded and poorly maintained. Belongings should be secured. Road The road network comprises 7705km (4788 miles). Road surfaces can be very poor, even in the case of major highways, and care should be taken to avoid children and animals on the road. Supplies of petrol, diesel and oil are at present limited. It is common practice to flag down private cars as well as official taxis. Local drivers have a tendency to flout traffic regulations and ignore signals. Visitors should take care when driving or crossing the road. Bus: There are city minivans available (marshrutni or Marshrutka) which operate on 100 different routes and may be flagged down. Coach: Coaches run between the major centres of population. Car hire: There are plenty of care hire companies operating, including Hertz. Urban There is a small underground system in Yerevan (0630-2300). Buses and trolleybuses run in the city. Taxis are available in the city centre or can be ordered by telephone. Chauffeur-driven cars are available but are expensive. It is advisable to obtain them through official channels, such as hotels or travel agencies in Yerevan. |
