Persons accompanying children with disabilities were given the opportunity to travel by public transport for free. The relevant decision was adopted on October 13, at the meeting of the Yerevan Council of Elders. Earlier, only children with disabilities had the privilege to use public transport for free. In the case of accompanying a child with a disability, the accompanying person will not have the obligation to present any ticket when using public transport and will be entitled to free travel solely by virtue of the fact of acting as an escort. Moreover, accompanying persons can use the right of free travel not in all cases, but only when accompanying children with disabilities.
