FROM WHERE CAN I LEARN ABOUT THE STRIKES OF PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION?
1) The first choice is to check the site of Athens Urban Transport
Organization (http://www.oasa.gr/?id=ind3ex&lang=en )
2) Second choice is to check an unofficial but very useful and reliable
site : http://www.apergia.gr/index.php
The site doesn‟t support English language so this is how you can
understand what you see:
ΕΘΕΛ=Busesgreen colour
ΗΑΠ=Railwaygreen colour
ΗΛΠΑΠ=Trolleys (electrical buses) green colour
ΜΕΣΡΟ=metro(subway) green colour
24ωρη=24hours
Strike maybe last few hours, for this case we have the following
example:
ΕΘΕΛ 11:00 εως 16:00 = The buses won‟t work from 11:00 till 16:00.
Notice: The site Athens Urban Transport Organization
(http://www.oasa.gr/?id=ind3ex&lang=en ) it will be a big help for you the first
