Starting today, Saturday, September 13, and every Saturday thereafter, the Athens Metro will operate around the clock.

Additionally, some bus lines and the Tram will also run 24 hours on Saturdays during the busier months.

As Deputy Minister of Transportation Konstantinos Kyranakis mentioned in a recent television interview, public transport employees will receive financial compensation for night shifts, and further hirings will take place.

“All the measures we are taking — policing, new highways, cameras, and 24-hour Saturday service — are aimed at reducing as much as possible the very high number of fatalities on Greek roads,” stated Mr. Kyranakis.

The 24-hour operation for fixed-track transport applies to Metro Lines 2 and 3, and Tram Lines T6 and T7.
