Athens Metro revenues have been growing at the rate of 10%-12.5% per month since the introduction of e-tickets, Stasy CEO Giorgos Thomopoulos told the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) in an interview published Thursday.
Stasy manages the Piraeus-Kifissia electric train (Isap) as well as the tram.
Thomopoulos also said that an upgrade of outdated ticket-issuing machines will help reduce the long lines at ticket counters or e-machines, which occur at the start of each month as people rush to renew their monthly passes or load more tickets on their cards.
“ We are also considering the upgrade of Line 1 (Isap) from Faliro station to Piraeus, combined possibly with sinking of that system underground,” he added.
