First, let me introduce myself.
I'm Patrik Lucan, founder of Transport for Armenia — a blogger, marketer and digital nomad from Slovakia.
When I first visited Armenia in 2017, I tried to plan a trip beyond Yerevan. Online, there was no reliable public-transport information. A hotel receptionist told me I’d need to visit the ticket office at the central bus station or make a phone call — and kindly made the call for me. That experience convinced me Armenia needed a simple, trustworthy way to plan journeys.
So I built Transport for Armenia.

Why we need your support
For the past few years I’ve funded the project with loans from friends. We’re an independent team, and we do not receive government funding. Keeping the service accurate and useful costs a few hundred euros per month on average — covering route and timetable updates, technical development, search-engine optimisation, translation into English and Russian, promotion and dozens of small but vital tasks.

Our values
“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich ride public transport.”
— Enrique Peñalosa, former mayor of Bogotá, Colombia
Public transport lifts living standards: it opens access to better jobs, is affordable, environmentally friendly and keeps people socially connected. Read more on We love public transport.
