Less service on Athens transport over holiday weekend

Service on the Athens transport system will slow down over the long Easter weekend, the OASA transit company said on Thursday, presenting the schedule for the capital's metro, tram, buses and trolley buses.

On Saturday in particular, buses and trolley buses will start pulling off the road after 10 p.m. so that drivers can attend church for the Resurrection service at midnight.

Bus and trolley work stoppages on Wednesday

Bus and trolleybus workers will stage a new work stoppage for the third consecutive day on Wednesday, demanding safe and quality public transport. 

The work stoppage will last from the start of the shift until 9 a.m. and from 9 p.m. until the end of the shift. 

Buses will run normally on the routes assigned to the privately operated KTEL intercity buses. 

Work stoppage in buses and trolleys on Wednesday

Workers in Athens' buses and trolley-busses will continue their protest for a second day on Wednesday, with services running only between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., the Athens Urban Transport Organization's (OASA) workers' union said.

The union is calling for "safe and quality means of transport with respect to human lives." All other means of public transport will operate normally. 

Plans to reactivate bus lanes

Transport authorities intend to reactivate designated lanes for buses and trolley buses in Athens and Piraeus, whose purpose has waned in recent years due to lack of policing.

The capital's urban transport organization (OASA) plans to call an international 490-thousand-euro tender for the supply and installation of CCTV cameras along the 52.3 kilometer network to improve monitoring.
