Operational details of the Maroussi student transport program
The Maroussi Municipality has officially announced the implementation of a specialized transit service aimed at supporting the student population. This program focuses on connecting the Maroussi area with the university and polytechnic campuses situated in Zografou. According to a municipal press release, the service will utilize buses from the Maroussi Municipal Transport network to ensure consistent connectivity for students residing in the municipality.
The service is scheduled to begin its operations on Monday, October 19, 2026. By integrating these routes into the existing municipal transport framework, the local administration seeks to alleviate commuting pressures faced by students during the academic year. The initiative highlights a local government commitment to enhancing mobility for the educational community.
