Yes, they commenced operations on April 9.

That's true, the greek Supreme Court of Auditors detected some irregularities, but that legal issue is already solved.

OSY is a state-owned company. For sure there is a detailed list of the buses that OSY will acquire, but such list is classified as internal information of the company. Hence, it is not available to the public. Some of our forum members are trying to make a full list of them by collecting information from photos on social media, local news, the official route app (oasa telematics), etc. However, as only 40 of 293 buses are delivered, these fan-made lists are not completed.

That's correct! The contract between OASA (state-owned company that serves as the transport authority in Athens) and regional KTEL (private local operators) mentions that the fleet of the latter must be the following:
- KTEL Attikis: 109 buses (75 standard, 30 articulated, 4 midi),
- KTEL Korinthias: 60 buses (all standard)
- KTEL Evias: 18 buses (16 standard, 2 midi)
- KTEL Thivas: 13 buses (all standard)
