STASY

There will be no tram and metro services in Athens this Thursday after staff in STASY, the fixed-rail public transport organization, decided to join a 24-hour strike called by the Athens Labor Centre.

In an announcement, STASY employees said that they were "not willing to accept the use of the pandemic as a 'tool' for passing anti-labor legislation to trample decades of rights."

STASY, the operator of Athens's's fixed-track public transport system, said Wednesday that train compartments will be fully air conditioned to cope with the heat wave currently gripping Greece.

"All our trains will have air conditioning," STASY said in response to complaints about the faulty system on trains serving the Kifissia-Piraeus line (ISAP).
