With all of respect towards the folk of Ajapnyak, but if all of this money will come from the state budget (which can be rerouted eslewhere). We would rather buy more weapons for it.
How to say you’re laundering money without saying that you are laundering money
Compared to initial $50m. Let’s compare this to other countries:
Tbilisi 2017 subway expansion cost $35m.
In Moscow, they’ve built a ring of metro stations around the whole city for $6.6b.
If it’s going to be this expensive to cross the Razdan Gorge – why not look at another means of transportation? We can probably cover the Ajapnyak with tram lines that would go over existing bridges for this kind of money. That’s way too much for a single station. Yerevan used to have tram lines, we can probably just restore the ones we had and extend them. I was all for this expansion but not at this price, that’s ridiculous.
**UPD**: I’ve run some numbers based on my own taxes, and it’s (very approximately) a lifetime tax contribution of ~240,000 people, which means 20% of Yerevan population.
I’m surprised because this was initially pitched as all we have to do is build a bridge and station. The rest of the infrastructure was already built out. It’s frustrating to find out the project now costs 5x more than originally planned and we’re 5 years after the fact without being any closer.
We’re not good at this kinda shit yet – we have no real practice.
I hope future plans and planning are done with better foresight and less “hayavri” mentality.
For those saying dumb shit about money laundering – please explain with some basis or else shut up and stop auto-shitting on your own country and people pls.
Just like the cost my house Im building.
If they were simultaneously building past ajapnyak that would make sense (say building towards all the new developments that are going to screw Yerevans traffic even more), but seems like there are no concrete plans to do that. Even though in government statements we have aspired to build the metro (not even just the train lines) out to the Academic City
Nothing about other stations. We need to expand fast.
I’ll be honest, if it costs 4 times as much to renovate and provide affordable transportation to citizens, while cutting on the traffic and the smog, it’s worth it.
The biggest issue with this project was not taking a Japanese/Chinese firm from the start to build it, but trusting Armenian companies to do it. It will cost 3 times as much and be built by Indians, just like most housing.
I’ve been here for 5 years now, during which ive seen Yerevan go from a Smog infested hell to a city where every 5th car went from being a 3.5L American Mcgyver glued together, to a brand new Hongqhi or BYD. Measures like these make Yerevan more attractive and this administration has been the reason why i stayed. I actually saw palpable progress
