Athens: Metro and Urban Train on 24h Strike, Nov 2/2012

1. can you post something about the immigrants attacked yesterday, i heard somewhere like 150 attackers because of another immigrant who robbed a hairdresser?

   • I will – currently I struggle with some other news & a lazy internet connection.

2. So glad I am taking the car to Patras and then the ferry to Venice tomorrow. So I don’t have to deal with the Greek public transport 🙂
   BTW I thought ISAP was amalgamated with AMEL and TRAM in 2011?

   Urban Rail Transport S.A was founded on June 17th, 2011. The new company incorporated the three rail companies that existed up to that point: AMEL S.A (metro system operation), ISAP S.A (urban rail), and TRAM S.A. (tramway).
   The incorporation of all three companies to one, aims at reducing costs through economies of scale and at providing integrated services that will promote the use of public transport throughout Athens, both for residents and for visitors.
   Our primary goal remains to identify and meet the needs of our customers in the most efficient way. As a company, we wish to deliver a safe, reliable, environment friendly and comfortable means of transport. Rest assured that our staff strives daily to raise the quality of our offered services, to the highest standards.

   Guess the amalgamation is not completed yet…

   • are you going back?

     • No, I am going away. But I’ll be back in Spring… It’s gonna be a long winter… 🙁

       • Have a good trip, wherever the journey is taking you 🙂
