Since the late-20th century, Kalyvia Thorikou is bypassed to the northeast but for Kalyvia and Anavyssos partially bypasses especially Anavyssou (Anavyssos) Avenue. Markopoulo once had a railway station and was linked with rail linking near Kifissia and Lavrio. Today, the nearest Proastiakos rail lies to the north.
