More specifically, they will support the effort concerning the providing of meals that is being organised at the initiative of the Athens Archdiocese (Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Ieronymos) in cooperation with the municipality of Athens. However, bus drivers and staff are planning work stoppages on Wednesday, from the start of their shift until 8:00 a.m. and from 10:00 p.m. until the end of the shift. This means buses will be running between 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. on that day. Similar work stoppages held at different hours are also planned after the New Year, on January 3, 5 and 10.
