BERLIN, March 1 (Xinhua) -- The week-long strike in the German local public transport reached its climax on Friday with a nationwide action joined by climate activists and social organizations. In the Government District of the capital Berlin, a major protest march took place.
As part of the event, a petition with 150,000 signatures was handed over to high-ranking representatives of the governing parties in Germany, calling for an additional investment of 16 billion euros (17.3 billion U.S. dollars) to expand local public transport.
