Greek Ferry, Rail, Bus Services To Be Affected By Strike On 9 April

Greece’s ferry service will be disrupted on Wednesday, 9 April, as the Pan-Hellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO) will participate in a 24-hour general strike called by Greece’s largest civil service umbrella union ADEDY and the General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE).

The Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE) will also take part in the strike so there will be no services on the Attica suburban railway (Proastiakos) and intercity trains. Services will be affected as of Tuesday evening due to the action.

Also, on Wednesday, buses in Athens will only run between 9 am and 9 pm on Wednesday due to drivers taking part in the general strike.

Trolleys will not operate for 24 hours.

However, other means of public transport in Athens (tram, metro and urban trains) will function normally.
