HOW WOULD breakfast television stand up if British bus operators followed the example of the State undertaking that runs the buses in Athens and Salonika and allowed commuters to travel free between 5am and 8am? Those who rise later in the Greek cities now have to pay doubled fares to try to reduce the £105m deficit on the buses.
