“These days, things can be tough, but we can’t sleep when we know we took someone else’s money,” noted the driver.

The driver of the Thessaloniki Urban Transport Organization, Nikos Papadopoulos, who a few days ago found and handed over to its owner a wallet with a large sum of money, credit cards and personal documents, was welcomed to his office by the President and CEO of OASTH, Costas Tangiris, in order to he congratulates him on his deed and morals.

Mr. Papadopoulos said, with particular modesty, that handing over a wallet with money that does not belong to him, was something that did not put him into thinking and dilemma, but something self-evident. “Nowadays, things can be difficult, but we can’t sleep when we know we took someone else’s money,” noted the driver.

As he excitedly described, the greatest reward for him was the “well done” he heard from his 83-year-old father, but also from his entire family, especially his wife and two children, aged 27 and 23, as well as from his colleagues.

At the meeting, Nikos Papadopoulos described some of the special incidents he has experienced at the wheel of OASTH buses.

He made special reference to cases of elderly passengers who confused the bus and their destination. For these people, as he described, there was a mobilization by the OASTH staff, so that they could safely reach their destination and their loved ones, whether a silver alert had been issued or not.
