Calling for... Buses?

"Give us buses... not cathedrals" with a stencil of the archbishop?

I found this graffiti the other day while exploring an are within the Old City near the Buffer Zone that is undergoing facade restoration. Surrounding a stenciled cartoon of the Archbishop of the Cypriot Orthodox Church is a call for buses rather than new cathedrals, which I assume to be directly referring to the church's current plans to build a 26 m. (85') tall cathedral at the core of the Old City and indirectly referring to the incredible wealth owned by the church. The height of this brand new neo-byzantine style temple would dominate the skyline of the historic core of the Old City, including the Selimiye Mosque (formerly St. Sofia Cathedral), the minarets of which currently rule the airspace within the walls. Not only would this monstrosity completely detract from the heritage and unique urban fabric within the historic city walls, but I (and many others I've spoken with) fear this would begin a sort of building war for the tallest religious structure in the capital between the two sides of the Buffer Zone. Additionally, there are already 7+ historically significant churches within the Old City and many other massive cathedrals that look just like this one in neighborhoods surrounding the walls.

Although the battle continues regarding whether or not the church should build the cathedral, and many argue the church can't be stopped even if they were denied their proposal because of their power, at least the municipality has responded to the cry for buses by implementing a new bus system called OSEL and by building a new bus station at Solomou Square on a bridge over the moat.
