Athens–Piraeus Electric Railways

Lines 2 and 3 of the Athens metro will increase the frequency of service as of Tuesday, following a rise in commuter traffic since lockdown measures started being eased last month.

Trains and the suburban railway will not participate in a 24-hour strike of employees in public transport on Tuesday, called in protest at the government's social security bill.

The planned full-day strike in the tram, metro, ISAP railway, trolley or bus service is expected to cause major traffic in Athens.

There will be no tram, metro, ISAP railway, trolley or bus service Tuesday due to the participation of workers in a 24-hour strike in protest at the government's social security bill.
In a statement on Saturday, the Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY) denounced the new legislation, saying the government has not kept its promise to increase pensions.

The Syntagma metro station will close down at 9.30 a.m. Sunday "at the suggestion of the police and to ensure the passengers' safety," metro operator Stasy (Urban Rail Transport SA) has announced.

An anti-migration rally will take place at Syntagma Square.

Anti-abortion posters were taken down from metro stations in Athens Monday after an intervention by the Transport Ministry which deemed them an affront to women's rights.

After more than a decade of delays, plans to move the section of the electric railway (ISAP) between Neo Faliro and Piraeus underground appear ready to move forward following the approval of a sum for a pre-tender study, Kathimerini understands.

The new government has replaced several high-ranking executives at the Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY).
The replacements came after a number of problems became apparent in the operations of the metro, especially as regards the frequency of trains.

A significant proportion of ticket machines at metro and tram stations across the capital have stopped functioning over the past week, apparently because of the high temperatures.

The machines generally malfunctioned while trying to issue paper tickets and not during the renewal of existing electronic tickets.

Athens urban rail transport company STASY is part of one of the six major consortiums to be short-listed for the second stage of the tender for the operation and maintenance of Jerusalem's light rail system.

Direct service to and from Athens International Airport resumed on the Greek capital's metro system over the weekend, following complaints over a decision by operator STASY to split the trip between different trains.
