  • [01] Late-night metro this weekend

    Late-night Athens metro and ISAP electric rail services on the weekends will finally begin this Friday, after their state-run managements succeeded in allaying staff concerns over security. The measure had been announced last week as a pilot programme and begins with a one-week delay.

    The timetable of the Athens metro and electric railway will be extended by two hours until 2 a.m. (midnight GMT) every Friday and Saturday for the next two months, in accordance with a decision by the transport ministry designed to provide a better service to commuters during the peak entertainment hours of the week.

    During the trial period, levels of passenger traffic during those hours will be recorded so that they can be processed statistically. Based on the findings, a decision will be made on whether to make the measure permanent or not.

    Metro trade unionists last week called work stoppages during the hours of the extended schedule, voicing concerns about lack of security after midnight.
