The government’s goal of standing on the side of citizens using MMMs for their movements, facilitating those who choose the bus, the Deputy Minister of Transport said in his position, clarifying that the government does not want to clash with taxi drivers.

“We have chosen to take part of the people who use the bus and give their own struggle to go to work with patience and dignity. If we want to improve this, the solution is to take IX and taxis from buses, “Mr Kyranakis said during a joint meeting of the Production and Trade Committee with the Road Safety Committee, making special reference to the refreshing of the bus fleet. “In 2019 the newest fleet bus was in 2011.

The majority buses were built in 1999 or before 1999, we are talking about an outdated fleet. We have failed to do so, the next generations want to circulate in our cities and breathe oxygen instead of exhaust gas, “said the minister, who appeared open to improvements. “General criticism without taking a position in favor of a proposal has no substance,” he added.

The dialogue instead of the collision with taxi drivers was proposed by the opposition, with Tassos Nikolaidis of PASOK stressing that “the Reformation of the CMS should not only be an exercise with targeting sanctions” and Alexander Meikopoulos from SYRIZA.

The processing of the new Road Traffic Code will continue in the relevant House committees tomorrow with the hearing of the bodies, where the 22 representatives will be found by Taxi Driving President Thymios Lymberopoulos.
