Transport strikes hit Greek capital

Buses, metro trains, trams and taxis were not running in the Greek capital on Friday, snarling traffic as public transport workers striked for a second day in an unrelenting barrage of protests against government austerity measures.
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos criticized the repeated strikes and protests, which have included the take-over of government buildings and risk slowing reforms the country needs to qualify for bailout loans.
