How public transport works in Yerevan
Yerevan’s intracity public transport includes buses, trolleybuses and the metro. The municipality describes a policy shift toward higher-capacity buses and trolleybuses while phasing out minibuses, so check current services when planning a journey.
The municipality names Yerevan Metro named after Karen Demirchyan, Yerevan Electric Transport, Yerevan Bus and YerevanTrans among the passenger transport companies operating under it. For a trip across town, first identify whether a metro station serves your destination; if not, look for a suitable bus or trolleybus connection.
Using the Yerevan metro
The Yerevan metro is a 10-station railway more than 12 km long. The city’s 1962–1964 general plan treated an underground railway as an effective public transport option suited to the city’s development concept.
The metro operator names these stations: Barekamutyun, Marshal Baghramyan, Yeritasardakan, Hanrapetutyan Hraparak, Zoravar Andranik, Sasuntsi Davit, Gortsaranayin, Shengavit, Charbakh and Garegin Nzhdehi Hraparak. Use the station names to match your starting point and destination when planning a metro journey. Sasuntsi Davit is the station to use as the metro-network reference for the railway-station area.
Daily operating hours are 07:00–24:00. Train intervals vary by day and time, so allow for a wait and check the operator’s current service information before you travel.
Finding routes and paying fares
Start route planning by checking whether both ends of your journey are close to one of the metro’s named stations.
If they are not, look for a bus or trolleybus option and confirm the service details with official transport sources. For a walking alternative in the city centre, a one-day Yerevan walking route offers another way to plan your day.
The municipality says you can buy transport cards at metro station terminals or ticket offices, Telcell service points, and information centers at Republic Square and France Square. The city’s official transport ticketing site presents a unified public transport ticket system. Fares and ticket arrangements can change, so check the official site before you go.
Stations useful to visitors
Republic Square station is about a 15-minute walk from Bonjour Boutique Hotel, making the metro a practical option for central journeys.
Yeritasardakan is another station on the metro network. Republic Square is also a reference point for the National Gallery of Armenia and Republic Square. For destinations beyond the rail line, compare the nearest metro stop with available bus or trolleybus services rather than assuming the metro serves every part of your route.
Getting around from the hotel
Begin a journey by checking whether a metro station serves your destination or whether a street-level service is a better fit. The metro’s station names help you assess whether a rail journey works; for places that do not match the network, use current bus and trolleybus information.
