Starting last week, a pilot project for contactless payments via bank cards and digital wallets launched on Athens International Airport’s (AIA) Express bus lines. The system reads cards or digital wallets, charging fares directly. By 2024, contactless transactions will expand to all OASA public transport.

The initiative aims to simplify fare payment, eliminating the need for ticket purchases from vending machines.
