> Dear all,
> 
> As of today, the Athens Urban Transport Organization (www.oasa.gr), announced 
> the availability of the public transport data (routes, schedules) for the City 
> of Athens, under a CC-BY-v3.0 license.
> 
> The data is currently provided through geodata.gov.gr ([1], available in Greek) 
> and follow the GTFS format.
> 
> One of the first users of the data set is Google Transit (a public announcement 
> is expected this Wednesday), while there are numerous Greek companies working 
> hard to integrate the data in their products and services.
> 
> Kudos to the Greek Open Data community, which provided vocal support for 12 
> months now, ever since the first brainstorming session took place at GeoDataCamp 
> 2010 [2].
> 
> We expect that the immediate gains for the public and the visitors of Athens 
> will serve as another solid example for the importance of open data.
