History

“Proastiakos SA” was founded in 2003 as a subsidiary of OSE to serve the operation of the suburban network in the urban complex of Athens during the 2004 Olympic Games. The first line, linking central Athens with Athens International Airport, was inaugurated on 30 July 2004, two weeks before the 2004 Olympic Games.

In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE’s Management was forced to reduce services across the network. Timetables were cut back, and routes closed as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. Services from Athens Airport & Athens were cut back, with some ticket offices closing, reducing the reliability of services and passenger numbers.However, from 2010, the electrification works of the lines with 25 kV AC, 50 Hz began to be completed, allowing the use of the Siemens Desiro 460 trains.

Tickets and Scheduling

(File:Athens Proastiakos map.jpg|thumb|Athens Suburban Railway map c.2012, in English and Greek)The suburban train, in the sections Magoula-Koropi and Piraeus-Dhekelia are part of the urban zone of OASA, therefore the single ticket that is used and combined with all means of transport in Athens is valid.WEB, Μέσα Κομίστρου,www.athenacard.gr/komistra.dev, ΟΑΣΑ Α.Ε., 11 August 2020, Outside the urban area, a different ticket is valid, which is priced in stages and issued by Hellenic Train.

Photography on the network

The photography in the publicly accessible areas of both OSE and the Athens Suburban Railway (defined as passenger space on trains and at stations) is permitted, as the right of photographers to photograph within the Suburban Railway is covered by the Constitution. The issue was mediated by the Ombudsman between 2004 and 2008 on the occasion of the attempt to temporarily ban photography during the Olympic Games. The court ruled that “the requirement of a ‘photography permit’ is tantamount to a ban” and that “there is no legal authority to impose restrictions on the right to photograph spaces and slides by definition accessible to the public”.Απαγόρευση φωτογράφησης σιδηροδρομικών εγκαταστάσεων {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314231156www.synigoros.gr/resources/docs/199930.pdf |date=2016-03-14 }} Συνήγορος του Πολίτη
