The €250m project, which was financed by the Greek government and the European Investment Bank, included the construction of a new 86,000m2 depot at Eleonas, and a 382-space park-and-ride station at Aghia Marina in the district of Aghia Varvara.
The extension is expected to boost ridership on Line 3 by around 30,000 to more than 100,000 passengers per day, with a journey time of eight minutes between Aghia Marina and Syntagma.
A further 7.6km six-station extension of Line 3 from Aghia Marina to Dimotiko Theatro in Piraeus is under construction.
