SKG → Thessaloniki · head to head

Night bus 01NorBus 02X to the Nea Elvetia metro station?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Night bus 01N reaches Aristotelous Square and the waterfront; the Bus 02X to the Nea Elvetia metro station does not. For the eastern districts and the metro: it ends at the Nea Elvetia transfer station, not in the centre. A separate EUR 0.60 metro ticket takes you on to Venizelou, by Aristotelous Square.

The Bus 02X to the Nea Elvetia metro station is quicker: 25 min against 43 min.

Night bus 01N: 23:10–05:55. Bus 02X to the Nea Elvetia metro station: 05:55–00:00.

Two tickets: the EUR 2.00 bus ticket does not cover the metro, and the metro ticket does not cover the bus.

From the arrivals stop the 02X calls only at the airport police stop before Nea Elvetia; the X3 to Mikra is the shorter metro link.
