[01] Bus service only in Athens on Thursday
AMNA--Only bus service will be available to commuters in Athens
on Thursday, as employees of the rail services - Athens Metro, ISAP
electric rail and Tram -- will be staging a 24-hour strike.
The employees' unions have called the strike in protest to the
implementation of new austerity measures and also what they charged as
the indifference of the STASY administration to abide by the timetables
and operational regulations of the rail transport services.
STASY S.A. is the state-run company that manages rail-based transport
infrastructure in the greater Athens area.amna
An announcement by the rail employees said that the inability to collect
revenues continues, as more than half the ticket issuing booths are
closed, resulting in the number of passengers traveling without tickets
having reached a very high percentage since even the ability to check
tickets is insufficient due to a shortage created by the recent transfers
of personnel coupled by retirements.
