Now having a clear picture, we can say that in Achaia and in general in Western Greece the this year’s Easter an increase in emigration was recorded, as in the whole of Greece, after all, where the data showed the greatest mobility in recent years.
The increase recorded at gas stations in our area shows that citizens decided to have a blast this Easter, despite inflation and the rise in the price of gasoline.
Specifically, according to the data of “Bridge“, in both directions of tolls from Saturday 28 April until Holy Saturday, an increase of 10% was recorded, with the numbers being the highest in the last 8 years.
As far as the issue of the return is concerned, based on “Gephyra” data, until yesterday afternoon the traffic of vehicles was reduced by approximately 30% compared to Easter Monday 2023.
Of course, this makes sense, as today’s holiday has delayed the return of many travelers, and in addition, last year there was a worsening weather report, resulting in many hastening their departure.
Regarding the traffic on the national network, in addition to the figures for the traffic nationwide, the data from the toll stations of Rio also showed an increase.
According to Olympia Odosbased on data for the entire Holy Week, saw a 4.3% increase in traffic compared to Easter 2023.
As for the return, a percentage of excursionists have started to return to their base since yesterday, according to the estimates, however, the majority of the vehicles will return
today in Achaia and the wider area.
In the interurban KTEL Achaia, the traffic was almost at the same levels as at Easter 2023, however, because there were many excursionists on the two-day Maundy Wednesday and Maundy Thursday, 30 special routes were added to meet the needs.
Some extraordinary itineraries are also expected to be added, for the return of excursionists and students, who are expected to arrive in Patras today and tomorrow.
