Mobility Survey in European Capital Cities
Projects of transport infrastructures
A Metro expansion is planned with two (2) new Metro lines- the one going to Piraeus Port and in the area of Ampelokipi in Athens.
For the last (2) two years of 2014 and 2015, there was no other future change or plan in the infrastructure of our transport system apart the expansion of the two (2) metro lines and planning of the pedestrianization of Panepistimiou Street in the center of Athens.
Alternative forms of transport
-As a policy for alternative forms of transport we consider extending the metro lines and the tram trails. Both Metro and Tram lines to Piraeus decongest car traffic to Piraeus.
- The current government has announced to create a new State FERRY Company to serve commuting from and to islands.
