The Urban Atlas is providing pan-European comparable land use and land cover data for Large Urban Zones with more than 100.000 inhabitants as defined by the Urban Audit. Urban Atlas' mission is to provide high-resolution hotspot mapping of changes in urban spaces and indicators for users such as city governments, the European Environment Agency (EEA) and European Commission departments.

The annual number of passengers of the Athens' three-lined subway system remained almost stable between 2015 to 2019. In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the ridership of the metro network dropped by ** percent, compared to 2019 levels. Athens is the capital and largest city in Greece.

Over the five years through 2025, industry revenue is projected to mount at a compound annual rate of 0.4% to €113.5 billion. Supported by the EU Commission and European Investment Bank, urban public transport is becoming more sustainable, rolling out electric buses and low-emission trains. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems have gained popularity as a cost-effective alternative to far more expensive urban rail investments. Similarly, European metro services remain major cities' primary public transport service, driven by convenience and accelerating urbanisation across Europe. Ridership levels play a crucial role in driving industry revenue growth and profitability. High ridership is essential for covering operational costs and informs decisions on reinvestment in infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, investments in these urban networks are significantly influenced by government policies, since many of them are publicly owned. The COVID-19 outbreak slashed passenger numbers, with many trains and bus services across Europe suspending or reducing operations amid lockdown orders. Recovery was sluggish in 2021 and remained subdued in 2022 due to the widespread adoption of remote and hybrid work arrangements, which have led to lasting changes in commuting patterns and negatively impacted industry fare income. Although some urban transport systems have fully recovered from the pandemic downturn in 2023, many still have not, limiting industry revenue. Additionally, escalating operating costs due to rampant inflation and the energy crisis have further hindered profitability. In response, urban networks are implementing cost-saving strategies, streamlining their workforce and actively investing in digitalisation to enhance operational efficiency. In 2025, industry revenue is forecast to grow by 0.4%. Over the five years through 2030, industry revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 4.2% to reach €139.6 billion. The Europe Strategy for low-emission mobility and EU urban mobility framework strive to boost the share of sustainable transport modes in urban transport systems, including increasing the number of electric buses in circulation. These strategies will help the EU reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and by 90% by 2050 while boosting investment in the industry. Similarly, autonomous shuttle services have the potential to support urban transit service expansion with lower capital and operating costs compared with other modes of public transport.
