THESSALONIKI, Greece AP —The metro system in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki opened Saturday featuring driverless trains, and tens of thousands of people braved blustery, rainy weather to wait outside the stations to try them out.
The single 13-station subway line was jammed with passengers eager to get a taste of the city’s new transport system.
This archaeological site is located inside the Venizelou metro station in Thessaloniki.
Deep underground, remains of the city’s busiest street in the 6th century were found.
But it will likely take several more years for the metro to reach the city’s busy Macedonia Airport.
