91,610 checks that led to 1,539 arrests and 1,536 arrests, including theft, robberies, damage, graffiti and violations related to drugs, weapons and illegal stay in the country, proceeded in the first 8 months of 2025.
The “ARIADNI” plan is a multilevel grid of prevention, deterrence and suppression of abusive behaviors and criminal acts in public transport, through targeted patrols, controls and coordinated interventions by the Greek Police. It is recalled that, since the beginning of 2025 the plan was expanded beyond the subway, ISAP and Tram, the suburban rail and urban buses, with a focus on areas with high passenger traffic.
As noted by ELAS, the presence of police officers within stations, trains and perimeter spaces contributes decisively to the reduction of incidents of offenses, while enhancing the sense of security of thousands of citizens using public transport daily.
The operation of the “ARIADNI” plan is being monitored centrally, with the forces available constantly, depending on the needs that arise, with the aim of preventing and preventing incidents before they occur.
In this context, the targeted presence of police officers led:
• Improving the situation on bus lines with increased policing needs, with a reduction of at least 60%.
• The significant reduction in incidents of stones (at least 80%).
• Reduce the number of passengers who do not validate a ticket and increase passenger traffic due to enhanced sense of security.
At the same time in the same announcement it is noted that, where there is an increase in incidents of theft or damage (eg at metro stations in West Attica and on specific bus lines), the plan is reinforced with additional pedestrian patrols and police personnel, while close cooperation with the transport agencies continues.
“The constant presence and coordinated action of police officers in public transport demonstrates the Greek Police’s determination to prevent, prevent and suppress any form of delinquency, protecting the daily lives of citizens in practice,” the statement concludes.
