[01] No immediate change to fares on public transport due to VAT hike,
minister says
ANA-MPA -- There will be no immediate change in fares on public transport
as a result of the VAT hike, Alternate Minister for Infrastructure,
Transport and Networks Christos Spirtzis said on Tuesday, while revealing
that the ministry was considering a more sweeping change in the ticket
system at a later date.
Among others, he said these will include the introduction of a zone
system to take into account the distance travelled, as well as different
prices at different times of day, as well as discount or free travel
for the unemployed. He said the price hike could not be implemented
immediately because tickets had already been issued and the issue of
new tickets took several months.
