Yerevan is experiencing a transportation collapse as heavy snowfall and uncleaned roads have brought public transit to a standstill. Buses across the city are unable to move, leaving thousands of commuters stranded at bus stops for hours in freezing temperatures.
Despite assurances from city authorities that public utilities and district administrations would be fully engaged in snow removal efforts, the streets remain largely uncleaned. Many residents have taken to social media to express their frustration, criticizing officials for failing to prepare for winter weather and ensure road safety.
Traffic congestion has worsened, with cars struggling to navigate snow-covered streets. Meanwhile, public transport services have yet to provide clear solutions or an estimated timeline for when operations will resume normally.
According to the National Weather Service, snowfall is expected to continue from the afternoon of February 19 through February 23, with heavy snowfalls on Thursday and Friday. Additionally, temperatures are forecasted to drop significantly, reaching -2 to -3 degrees Celsius during the daytime on February 21-23.
As snowfall continues, residents are urging city officials to improve road maintenance efforts and restore transportation as soon as possible.

"He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number. At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off.
