Athens tram to offer free bike rental

The program aimed at promoting greener forms of travel, will allow tram passengers to use a bicycle for one and a half hours without charge.

Commuters can pick up a bicycle and helmet from a special kiosk at Flisvos (between Parko Flisvou and Flisvos stations) by showing tram officials a validated ticket and leaving their police identification card or driving license as a guarantee.

The kiosk will operate between Wednesday and Saturday, from 17.30 to 20.30. (July 6 to September 30)
