Protest in Thessaloniki against bus ticket hikes (video)

Dozens of cyclists and pedestrians, members of the "Thessaloniki
Passengers" movement, defied rainy weather and organised a protest rally in the northern city of Thessaloniki on Saturday, protesting what they call an exorbitant increase in ticket prices of the Thessaloniki Urban Transport Organisation (OASTH).


"Government and OASTH, take back the tax," "free transport, free education" wrote banners held by the protesters.


The rally began at the statue of Eleftherios Venizelos and reached the New Town Hall in Thessaloniki, where hundreds of pedestrians were waiting for the cyclists.
