Student transportation issues in Volos

Overview

Students from the 4th Gymnasium of Nea Ionia and the 10th Gymnasium of Volos will receive free transportation via Astiko KTEL Volos buses starting September 29. This decision follows intense protests and mobilizations by parents and students regarding the lack of free transport at the beginning of the school year.

The demand for service was driven by safety concerns over walking routes, such as Diminiou Street, which lacks sidewalks and experiences heavy vehicle traffic. While mandatory free transport is typically triggered by a 2,500-meter distance threshold, local authorities determined that the specific routes for these schools significantly exceeded this limit, leading to the provision of bus services via Special Student Passes (EMD).
