Specifically, the schedules in the urban transport for Athens are as follows: In the Metro and the Electric train, today the train frequency is at 7.5 minutes during peak hours and we plan to go down at 6 minutes. The Tram, from 11 minutes, the goal is to reach 8 minutes at peak hours. On buses and trolleys from 550 vehicles in circulation today we will rise to 1,000 in the next period.
In addition, the Undersecretary appealed to the citizens: First, to avoid any unnecessary travel by public transport. And secondly, for those who are not able to do this, especially during peak hours, the use of public transport should be done for absolutely necessary reasons, such as the transition to the workplace and this as long as there is no possibility of moving in another convenient way.

As for the transport of citizens by taxi, following a recommendation of the Public Health Committee, the application of the current rule, ie the driver and a passenger, continues, with the known exceptions of transferring a parent with minor children or escort person for medical reasons.
