Athenians experience another day without major public transport mean, as the Metro, the Urban Train-HSAP and the Tram are on 24-hour strike, on Friday, September 23rd 2011. This morning the traffic jams of desperate motorists trying to reach their work places were incredible.
Meanwhile, residents of Athens with or without private cars discovered the alternative of car pool via Twitter. You can offer or seek a ride following hashtag #carpoolgr. The Majority of posts are in Greek but many Twitter users read English as well. If you join a ride, you can offer to share gasoline costs as well! The #carpoolgr has been initiated by the website Athens Transport.
