I also caught it from Republic Square to Komitas at 5pm. At 9.50pm I caught a bus from the Komitas Shuga downtown. Not sure about the situation at other times of the day, but I had no problem with the metro during the height of Ter-Petrossian's rally at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331396433182434044.post-12193452732053952062008-02-21T07:20:00.000+00:002008-02-21T07:20:00.000+00:00We were sent home from work a little after 2pm and...We were sent home from work a little after 2pm and at that time the marshrutkas were working fairly normally, but there were loads and loads of people near Shrjanyin and Metro Yeridasardakan waiting for transport.
