The Athens Metro (Greek: Μετρό Αθήνας Metró Athínas) is a rapid-transit system in Greece which serves the Athens conurbation and parts of East Attica. It incorporates the former Athens-Piraeus Electric Railways (ISAP) which opened as a conventional steam railway in 1869 and which was electrified in 1904 and is now part of Line 1. Beginning in 1991 Attiko Metro constructed and extended Lines 2 and 3 and the Attiko Metro Operations Company (AMEL) operated these lines from 2000 to 2011.
