Taxi drivers in Athens are staging a six-hour warning work stoppage (9 a.m. – 3 p.m.), following a decision by the Taxi Drivers’ Union of Attica (SATA).
During these hours, residents and visitors should be prepared for high levels of traffic as professional drivers will also hold a protest, and gather and march towards the Ministry of Transport in Athens.
Protest Against the New Traffic Code
Taxi drivers are protesting the bill concerning the new Traffic Code (ΚΟΚ).
The union’s board of directors unanimously decided to escalate efforts to ensure taxi access to bus lanes, at least for taxis carrying passengers.
Protest Gathering at 9:30 a.m.
The vehicle gathering is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the intersection of Spyrou Patsi and Athinon Avenue.
The taxi drivers in Athens will then proceed in a march towards the Ministry of Transport, where a resolution outlining the industry’s demands will be submitted.
