As one of the cities I spend part of my life, the new metro experience is great, and how they integrated the stations into old Greek infrastructure.
replyI only morn the loss of jobs that could have been part of the metro, if the wagons weren't robots.
That's great to hear, I've only been in it once (I prefer to cycle on the waterfront), but I hear the ticket machines still don't accept cards. Typical Greece, though it's nice that it actually works well for what it is.
replyI was there now during both Easters, they do actually, the biggest problem is having different cards for metro and bus.
replyActually we have the same problem in Lisbon and Porto, the cards you can top up are company specific, only the monthly subscriptions work across companies.

replyWhat do you mean? The Navegante works for all of it in Lisboa!
I meant credit cards, it used to be that you can only pay cash. I agree, though, in London everything just takes credit cards so you have no dedicated ticket cards. Much more convenient.
replyI believe Athens was the first city to do this some decades ago.
replyOnce again Romans taking "inspiration" from the Greeks :)
