[01] Police urge Athens drivers to be patient as metro-tram strike causes
traffic jam
Athens' roads were bottlenecked in several sections on Wednesday due to
the 24-hour strike called by workers on the city's fixed-rail transport
systems (tram, metro and Kifissia-Piraeus electric railway).
Traffic police is urging drivers to be patient as main avenues Mesogion,
Alexandras, Vasilisis Sofias and Athinon are congested. Citizens can be
kept up to date on developing traffic conditions from the Greek police's
website (www.hellenicpolice.gr).
The strike is held in protest against legislation that hands over the
commercial exploitation of STASY fixed-rail transport stations and
premises to the Athens urban transport organisation OASA. A second
24-hour strike is expected on Friday (March 3).
