‘If it goes well it will apply from September’
‘We start a pilot 24 -hour operation of measure Saturday. The next Saturday will not have, so it is a test function, “the Deputy Minister of Transport said, Konstantinos Kyranakis.
‘The first one I want to say is a big thank you to the workers who will put backbecause as parents they themselves realize that the first concern of a parent who first comes out his child out and goes on to have fun, especially on the coastal for example, is to return home safely. “
Then, as Konstantinos Kiranakis said, speaking to Open: “We do it for the parents who have come out of their child so they can return home safely. So let’s say a big thank you to the workers and we will reward them for it, so that it is not just a “thank you”.
“The second thing I want to say is that the steps we need to take must be firm. There are maintenance issues, the subway needs a few hours of maintenance daily and so doing a 24 -hour operation on Saturday has challenges. Let’s go to a test function, to see in practice what the challenges are to solve them. “
“We did two previous Saturday trial operation without passengers, to see technical issues and be as ready as possible. We are ready, I hope to go well on Saturday, July 5, and in consultation with the police we will also have teams on subway, buses and trams, so that there can be a smooth operation without a deprivation, “the Deputy Minister of Transport said.
Finally, as he pointed out: “I do not want to be called upon as a promise without the test function what I will say, but if it goes well, in September we start every Saturday 24 hours.”
