In the program Partnership Stories, the CEO of Cyprus Public Transport, Mr. Julio Tironi, and the company’s CFO, Mr. Tryfonos Hadjichristoforou, discuss their important decision to collaborate with Hellenic Bank. As they notably highlight, "we feel confident that we made the right choice."

Cyprus Public Transport began operating in Cyprus in 2020 and, within just four years, has already made a mark on Cypriot society, as the number of citizens using public transport in the country continues to grow. The company currently operates a fleet of over 250 buses and employs more than 600 staff.

The company’s goal is the continuous improvement of public transport to encourage more people to use it.

Speaking on Partnership Stories, the CEO of Cyprus Public Transport, Mr. Julio Tironi emphasizes: "We chose Hellenic Bank as our financial partner during a very challenging period when we started, amid the COVID crisis. And we succeeded. Now, we are looking forward to new projects, new challenges, and further enhancing the use of public transport. We are introducing electric buses, implementing express services, demand-responsive transport, and door-to-door services, attracting more young people to public transit."

He adds: "When we achieve our goal, our communities and cities will become a better future to live in."

The company’s CFO, Mr. Tryfonos Hadjichristoforou, also mentions: "Our professional collaboration with Hellenic Bank began even before we started our operations in Cyprus. Of course, we evaluated other financial institutions in Cyprus and abroad. However, the professionalism, required speed, and understanding of our needs were key reasons for deciding to join forces with Hellenic Bank. We have worked together since the bidding process, for which they provided the required tender guarantees. We now use Hellenic Bank as a one-stop shop for all our financial needs."

He further notes: "Hellenic Bank helped us overcome various obstacles we encountered. We are now collaborating on future projects as we move forward and expand. We are confident that we made the right choice with Hellenic Bank."
