Ticketing Policy
Purchased tickets are valid for 90 minutes after validation and can be used for several journeys on the network (lines 1, 2 and 3), as well as in most other means of public transport in Athens including buses, trolleybuses, trams, and the urban part of the suburban railway (between Piraeus, Magoula and Koropi stations, excluding the airport). Passengers must validate their tickets only once, using the machines at the entrance to the station, at the start of their first journey.
There are daily and weekly tickets, as well as monthly cards which also apply for all means of public transport in Athens - Passengers also only need to validate these tickets once, at the start of their first journey. Fares are checked frequently: passengers who fail to show a validated ticket or a monthly card are required to pay 60 times the price of a standard ticket.

Famous quotes containing the word policy:
“We should have an army so organized and so officered as to be capable in time of emergency, in cooperation with the National Militia, and under the provision of a proper national volunteer law, rapidly to expand into a force sufficient to resist all probable invasion from abroad and to furnish a respectable expeditionary force if necessary in the maintenance of our traditional American policy which bears the name of President Monroe.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
