OSY: First 167 trainee drivers enter the new Anthousa driving school
Selection of the driving school’s first cohort has been completed. Classes are expected to begin after contracts are signed, with new drivers projected to enter service in early 2027.
OSY’s driving school was inaugurated at the Anthousa depot on November 12 and is welcoming its first cohort of 167 trainee drivers, according to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. Their selection was completed on October 30 with the final lists for recruitment notice 3/2026, which OSY has also published. Today’s announcement concerns candidates already selected and does not open a new application period.
Classes will begin in the coming days after the contract is signed, the ministry says. Training will take place in a specially equipped area of the renovated depot and on modern buses, combining theoretical knowledge with practical preparation.
The ministry expects the new drivers to begin driving in the early part of the new year, meaning 2027. This is the announced schedule, rather than confirmation that training has been completed or that all 167 drivers are already operating services.
