Good to know
Good to Know
- Marshrutkas operate on a 'departs when full' system; plan accordingly and arrive early during low seasons.
- Carry cash in Armenian Dram (AMD) for all marshrutka and local transport — payment is direct to the driver.
- T-armenia.com provides route information, though not all listings are current; use it as a guide only.
- Google Maps does not yet have public transport data for Armenia; use the Journey Planner tool for route planning.
- City transport (metro, buses, trolleybuses) is publicly run and generally more reliable than private marshrutkas.
- Main intercity routes (Sevan, Dilijan, Gyumri) run frequently enough for same-day trips with minimal waiting.
