Am I allowed to plug any companies here? I've tried over a dozen different taxi services, and I finally found one (a couple of months back), which I'm absolutely satisfied with. Clean spacious Ford Crown Victoria cars with meters, drivers who act professional and don't smoke in the cars, or blast rabiz music. (I hope I don't jinx this.)

Their phone number is simply T-A-X-I (8294). Their rates start from 200 drams, whereas the other ones start at 500. But they are a little more expensive (if you don't travel a short distance), since they're per km rates are a little higher than the others.

I had a great conversation with the last driver I had. I had to tell him right off the bat that their taxi service was the best in Yerevan. He told me that their rates a little more expensive, but they make an effort to offer the best service possible. We also got into a conversation about this and that, and how we, Armenians, are such a small people (in numbers), and we need to take care of each other, and stop killing each other (basically referring to the stupid behaviour of some Armenians in California, as well as the numerous killings in the army over here). I mentioned I was from abroad, and his response was, "That does not matter to me, we are all Armenians". (A rare comment, but definitely commendable.)
