ONEBus

#ONEBus was 1A’s idea for a free, air-conditioned, musically curated, wifi-enabled, smoke-free, comfortable alternative to Yerevan’s typical, not-so-great mode of public transportation: the infamous Marshutka [Soviet-era vans]. Launched on June 30, 2014, #ONEBus seated 19 and roamed the city that summer, serving as a mode of transportation for local non-profit events and projects. We eventually discontinued this project, but the concept behind it — connecting the community — took on another form. Its replacement is another project, which is ongoing, called #InsideYerevan. It’s the first non-commercial map to Yerevan, and it’s been crowdsourced for authentic, local recommendations and curated for quality by 1A. Check it out our latest edition of the map here.
