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.

But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors.
