The first 27 articulated gas buses have also arrived. In total, together with the 278 new vehicles already on the streets of Attica, urban transport now has more than 400 new buses. Just as we had committed to! The modernisation of the fleet continues, consistently and methodically. Our goal is 950 new buses in Attica in the summer of 2025. I would like to repeat my wishes for a Happy New Year, with health, prosperity, creativity and solidarity!

The Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, responsible for Transport, Vassilis Economou noted “With the new 100 buses that we have received and will put in circulation in the next few days, we enhance the quality of urban transport, offering safe, modern and environmentally friendly transport to citizens.
