🚇 Transport
Metro
One line, 10 stations, running roughly 6:30 AM–11:00 PM. Flat fare of 150 AMD per ride, paid by QR code, contactless bank card, or a Telcell transport card. Multi-ride options: a 180-minute ticket (up to 3 rides) for 300 AMD, a day pass for 900 AMD, and a 7-day pass for 5,000 AMD.
Buses & marshrutkas
City buses share the same flat 150 AMD fare as the metro, and since a January 2025 rule change, cash is no longer accepted on board — pay by QR-code paper ticket (bought from a Telcell terminal), a transport card, or a contactless bank card. Intercity marshrutkas (minibuses) to towns outside Yerevan are a separate system, still paid in cash to the driver — typically 1,000–4,000 AMD depending on distance.
Taxis
Yandex Go and GG (GG Taxi) are the two apps everyone actually uses in Yerevan — fixed upfront pricing, cash or card. Prefer booking through an app over flagging a street taxi: drivers waiting outside tourist spots and the airport commonly quote several times the app price.
From Zvartnots Airport
An app-based taxi (Yandex/GG) into central Yerevan typically runs 2,500–5,000 AMD depending on the exact destination and traffic (fares can climb higher at peak times). Street taxis outside the terminal often ask 6,000–10,000 AMD for the same ride — book through the app instead. There's also a private-operator express bus, route 201 (Elite Bus), running roughly every 30 minutes between the terminal and central stops (Republic Square, Yeritasardakan Metro, Mashtots Ave) — paid in cash to the driver, reported at 300–500 AMD depending on the source, so bring small bills either way.
Car rental & walking
Rentals start around $25/day and are mainly useful for day trips to monasteries or mountain regions outside the city — you won't need one inside Yerevan itself. Central Yerevan (Kentron) is compact and very walkable; outlying districts are better reached by metro, bus or taxi.
