    The Athens tram is nice, and the beach connectivity is nice and all, but as a citizen I'll say that the company needs to handle it better. The frequency is inconsistent and should get better. The connectivity is really bad for no reason, while it was better before. The lines should be Syntagma-Agia Triada, Syntagma-Asklipiio Voulas, Agia Triada-Asklipiio Voulas (The rail change that Syntagma to Agia Triada would use was already made and now it's unused). Also the expansion to Peiraius was handled poorly and the the station Akti Poseidonos was never made. Trams should get the same care as the Metro, cuz it's one of the only ways to access South Athens with railway 😅

    Although the layout of the tram interchange is interesting and convenient, as there is cross-platform interchange to both directions of the costal route, the trams are not timed for instant interchange and the two lines still share a common section, which reduces capacity. Before 2021, an interchange was not required as there was a route between each two of the three legs of the network.

    The athens tram opened in 2004. Between 1977 and 2004 athens had no tram.

  • @goatgamer001
    @goatgamer001 15 днів тому

    In my opinion, the tram should have less frequent stops and higher speeds, like a suburban railway, as currently it is often slower than the bus routes which parallel it.

    It looks like they have a good system. You can probably go from the airport to Piraeus to catch a cruise. I wonder if the graffiti tram had a bathroom for the drivers?

    • @SoloTravelPOV
      @SoloTravelPOV  Місяць тому

      It is a great tram system! You can actually connect from the airport using the Metro system
      A bathroom in that graffiti tram would be clever!

      There is a fee for the tram, and some of the private beaches/beach clubs have a fee. There are also free beaches in Athens! I visited Kalamaki Beach here
      Sunbeds are cheap to rent at around 5-10 EUR 🌞🌞

    "There's a lot of graffiti in Athens". The centre. Because you won't see them in almost any of the suburbs, and if you do, they're not nearly as many.

      As a Greek I call bullshit. Even in other areas you see graffitis everywhere, even vandalizing statues. And especially from hooligans and far left thugs.
