Athens' Urban Buses Today

Athens' Urban Buses Today

You could say that Athenians didn't fully trust the urban bus system running in the capitol until just recently. Without saying that passengers travel faster by privately owned vehicles, the fact is that the urban buses were notoriously unreliable for their timeliness and a passenger might end up standing up and crammed in most of the times of high volume.

Given the fact of the traffic problems on the Athenian streets, the companies that operate the buses and the trolleys have done a lot to improve their response to the great demands from the public. The bus lines on the streets offer easier access, the route consistency improves rapidly, the aged vehicles have been recalled and now all buses are air-conditioned.

Generally the urban buses and the trolley buses are safe, meaning only your bodily safety. There are many incidents of theft from handbags and pockets, therefore keep a close watch on your personal items is a great idea.
