Eighth in Europe’s 10km route in Europe is ranked, as it takes 10 kilometers in the city – it takes almost 30 minutes, according to data presented at the Hellenic Transportation Association (SCS).

In the first place is London (33:17 minutes) followed by Dublin (32:45), Barcelona (31:13), Bucharest (31:09), Bordeaux (31:08), Brussels (30:22) and Rome (29:59).

Over 1/3 of the day stuck in the movement

Based on the measurements, both in Athens and Thessaloniki, drivers spend more than 1/3 of the day (34%) in congestion, with the two cities ranked on the world table at 114th and 123rd respectively.

Only in the years between 2021 – 2024, the average traffic speed in downtown Athens decreased by 11% on the main streets and by 17% in the secondary. And this is due to the fact that many movements are made by IX, the limited road network capacity and driver behavior.

How will MMMs become more ‘attractive’ to passengers

As the president of the Hellenic Transport Association Thanassis Tsianos said, the improvement of travel to Attica (traffic and MMM) is neither resolved by rough proposals nor with wishes. It is a continuous process that includes studies, coordination, evaluation and significant financial costs. This process was interrupted during the economic crisis. However, as he said today there is Significant increase in demand for travelas expected, and highlights in the most emphatic way the consequences of disinvestment in the transport sector during the economic crisis.

To serve the public in terms of Fixed track According to Mr. Tsiano they need: Upgrading of the existing network (smaller frequencies; green wave for tram), increased attractiveness (IX transit stations, KMissing connection to OASA Urban Transportationbicycle parking spaces, improving conditions for pedestrian movement to subway stations) and Metro extensions, tram, suburban.

For them urban transport– OASA, stressed that it is Establishment of Express lines necessarythe time extension of routesthe increase in the train stations in order to gain the ground for the bus, the policing of the buses, and the rise in fleet.

The suggestions at SEA

During the workshop, the SEA scientific committees, the positions of the Association for Urban Mobility, Road, Rail, Air, Marine and Freight Transfers were presented by the SEA Scientific Committees.

In particular, for road transport, the SCI points out that the approved requirements of the requirements in road transport studies must be revised. There is a stagnation in the reduction of accidents from 2017 onwards, and strategic planning of new road infrastructure is required and especially at a more local level. Pillar the maintenance of existing infrastructure. For the new road infrastructure, it is proposed to expand the Attica Road, the new Elefsina-Ninophyte axis, etc.

For urban mobility, the SCE says that 50% of accidents occur in urban space. As it has been said, the speed limits must be made clear with new studies and the necessary equipment can be entered. The speed limit was described as correct to become 30 km/h in urban areas. He also wants concomitant measures such as cameras, policing. Urban mobility distinguishes excessive presence of the state, polyarchy, bureaucratic processes. While the planning of urban and suburban mobility is missing. “There is no sustainable urban mobility without measures that restrict IX and facilitate walking and bike, promoting collective travel with reliable MMM systems, vehicles and parking and access, low speeds, turning to a different city that puts in the center The man is reported.

To strengthen air transport, what, according to the TSE, is needed is to comply with international and national requirements, the upgrading of infrastructure and systems at airports and further staffing due to the increase in the project.

For rail transport, in Europe there is a goal to double passenger routes by 2030 and triple until 2050. In Greece, in recent years, important modernization projects have been carried out on the main axis and the following years are expected to deliver important projects. . Despite the projects, Daniel’s tries are being attempted after the events in Tempi and Daniel’s disasters. It also needs to improve security with the use of ETCS and GSMR, new rolling stock, intelligent systems and improved existing infrastructure.

For maritime transport, according to committees, the network is relatively limited, the fleet is older, and has a long seasonal due to tourist current. The axes of strategic development are proposed, inter alia: the strategic significance of maritime transport, the green agreement, the enhancement of social cohesion safety, the promotion of digitization, the enhancement of durability, the funding for investment and ships.

Finally, for freight transport, measures were proposed such as the modernization of the Logistics Legislative Framework in Greece to enhance viability and promote environmentally friendly practices, the need for durable supply chains, the promotion of digitization and interoperability of the supply chain, the simplification Issuing licenses, the reinforcement of incentives for investment in logistics infrastructure.
