Transport minister tables draft law modifications

Infrastructure, Transport and Networks Minister Dimitris Reppas on Monday tabled modifications to a draft law for public transport reforms in Attica, including measures restricting staff transfers. 
 
The new measures provide free transport for the disabled and exclude engine drivers from planned staff transfers, while they also reduce the number of total staff transfers by 40 in the electric railway Isap and by 10 in the Athens public transport organisation Oasa. 
 
It also transfers all social insurance debts owed by the public transport companies that are to be merged to the state budget and reduces the fee for registering the deeds from the sale of public transport organisation real estate to one percent instead of five percent.
