The three lines of the Athens Metro ran 5,172 more services from January through October 2026 than in the same period of 2025. Operator STASY recorded 3,328 additional services on Line 3, 1,233 on Line 1 and 611 on Line 2.

STASY attributed the increase on Line 3 to changes to the peak-hour timetable and an extra train during the morning peak. Line 1 ran 427 more services in October alone than it did a year earlier. Its first refurbished train entered service that month.

Fare validations across the metro and tram increased by 6.14% over the ten months. Validations count uses of tickets and passes rather than unique passengers. The figures describe services already operated and do not announce a new timetable.
