“Today we are taking the important final step in order to be able to at last deliver the Thessaloniki metro, fully operational, within 2024,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in Thessaloniki on Wednesday, during the signature at Agia Sofia metro station of a contract for the operation and maintenance of the city’s metro system, ANA reports.
The prime minister was given a tour of the station, including its archaeological site. He noted that this marked the culmination of a “bold decision” agreed by the transport ministry’s previous leadership to “use private knowhow, the best on a European level” to ensure the “unobstructed, safe operation of this very significant infrastructure project” and to have “both a metro and antiquities”.
