‘Tens of thousands of young people returned home safely’
“Athens last night” didn’t sleep. ” For the first time, after 20 years, The whole system of public transport was left open all night And tens of thousands of young people used them in hours that, until yesterday, the options were limited and not always sufficient, “the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport said. Konstantinos Kyranakis In his post on social media on the 24 -hour pilot operation of the means of transport.
And he adds: “Tens of thousands of young people who have returned home safely and a city that has shown that he wants and can move on to something better. None of this was done on its own. It happened because hundreds of workers – in subway, tram, buses – stood in place. One Saturday night, while the city was having fun, they did their job. With care, professionalism, with the quiet dedication that every real change needs.
Was everything perfect? No. But that’s how we learn: doing. And in the coming weeks we will work on mistakes, correct what did not work and improve what it has achieved.
Because if we do it right, this won’t just be a pilot measure. Since September, it can become the new rule: an Athens moving safely, every Saturday, all night. “
