- b Do not rely on this departure for Piraeus. The operator's printed table shows a Piraeus arrival, but its own booking system would not sell one on this departure on any date we tried
- c The operator's own line number: ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ (ΜΟ)→ΑΘΗΝΑ (ΚΗ)
- d An overnight service — it arrives the following day

Route map
The line joins the stops in order. It is not the road the bus takes — it is a straight chord between points, so treat it as sequence, not geometry. A hollow, dashed stop marker means the coordinate is a village centre rather than a surveyed bus bay; tap it to see where it came from.
