Public transportation tickets in Athens and Thessaloniki will be cheaper as of Monday, June 1, after the government’s broader relief measures to support citizens, businesses, and tourism after the coronavirus pandemic outbreak.
The cost of a 90-minute ticket falls to 1.20 euros from 1.40 in Athens and to 0.90 from 1 euro in Thessaloniki.
In the capital of Athens, the price of 10 tickets plus-one-free drops to 12 euros from 13.50, while a ticket to the Athens International Airport is reduced to 9 from 10 euros.
Concerning travel cards, the monthly cost is reduced to 27 from 30 euros, the quarterly to 78 from 85, the six-month to 155 from 170 euros and the annual travelcard to 300 from 330 euros.
More specifically, holders of monthly travel cards, bought before the transportation restrictions, can now automatically renew their card for one month, free of charge.
Passengers who have purchased 3-month, 6-month, and annual travel cards will get 55 free days of travel, equivalent to how long the restrictive measures were in effect.
