The Kalamaria extension of the Thessaloniki Metro has officially entered passenger service, adding 4.8km and five new stations: Nomarchia, Kalamaria, Aretsou, Nea Krini, and Mikra. This project enhances the existing 9.6km metro network and is part of Greece's first fully automated, driverless metro system, previously established through a joint venture involving Aktor, Webuild, and Hitachi Rail.
Hitachi Rail provided Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) technology to enable Grade of Automation 4 (GoA4) operations. The extension aims to facilitate public transport use and reduce road congestion, contributing to lower transport emissions. Its integration with the existing infrastructure allows for consistent operations and improved service for passengers.
