DESCRIPTION

It currently provides functionality to find the shortest route between the two given nodes. It covers the following metro lines:

Metro Line M1
Metro Line M2
Metro Line M3

INFORMATION

What I found out was that it's surprisingly difficult to find an up-to-date, accurate map of the Athens Metro. It seemed that the best source was actually a volunteer-made map from Wikipedia: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/da/Athens_Metro_Map_%28December_2013%2C_English%29.svg.
