context_page_description: The Karen Demirchyan Yerevan Subway, colloquially known as the Yerevan Metro, is a rapid transit system that serves the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. Owned by the government, it is operated by the Karen Demirchyan Yerevan Subway CJSC of the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Armenia.
  The system was launched in 1981 and, unlike most former Soviet rapid transit systems, its stations are not very deep, there are two stations above ground, one shallow and the rest are considered deep underground, however, the depth of those stations is not great only three stations are greater than 30 meters, Marshal Baghramyan, Barekamutyun and Yeritasardakan. Stations are intricately decorated with national motifs. The metro runs on a 13.4 kilometres line and currently serves 10 active stations.
context_section_description: Rather than tickets, passengers are sold tokens, which are then used to operate turnstiles in order to reach station platforms. The orange plastic tokens issued since 2009 depict the metro's logo on one side and the city's statue of David of Sassoun on the other.
