Public transport buses to run from 9:00 until 21:00 in Athens on Thursday

Buses will join the nationwide strike on Thursday with work stoppages from the start of the shift until 9:00 and from 21:00 until the end of the shift, the OASA staff union announced on Tuesday. They will run normally between 9:00 and 21:00, leaving their depots at 8:30 in the morning.

A 24-hour nationwide strike has been called by the public-sector workers union federation ADEDY and the General Confederation of Employees of Greece (GSEE) on Thursday.

The bus routes operated by KTEL intercity coaches will run as normal.

According to a union announcement, the strike has been called to protest against deficient safety standards in public transport, as highlighted by the rail collision in Tempi. It also announced a protest rally at Syntagma Square on Thursday at 11:00.
