Classification of route numbers[edit]

Historic classification[edit]

When the bus system of Thessaloniki was first established in 1957 all lines were numbered from the eastern to the western routes starting with 1. This applied to all routes from 1 to 29. However, after 1979 the rest of the lines were numbered based on the date of their creation.

Route numbers	Location
1-17	East
18-29	West

Current classification[edit]

Nowadays, there is no official classification however unofficially the routes are classified as follows: trunk routes, urban routes (OASTH operated routes), metropolitan - regional routes (KTEL operated routes).

Route numbers	Type of service	Exceptions
