The Armenian Short Bus

It looks like the Armenians have a version of the Short Bus, too!

Of all the possible colors for that van-like thing, they had to choose yellow. Yellow! How could I resist making such an offensive post? For one, I enjoy reading hate mail; for another, it's yellow.

Armenia's Taxis to Get New Yellow Numbers

The Taxi world appears unshaken by recent developments.

The taxi services are not going to make their service more expensive, although the Government decision on taxis will cost them dear. “Of course yellow numbers will reduce the quantity of the services, but they will not become more expensive. The people using taxi services mainly belong to the middle walk of life. If the service becomes more expensive, we will lose the majority of the clients”, said one of the drives.

On January 12 the RA Government decision on the "Demands on the numbers of the means of public transportation" come into force. According to the decision, the cars used as taxis should have yellow numbers, like route taxis.

Just another way to exercise control over taxi drivers and companies, or a drive to regule them in the name of consumer demands? You be the judge.
