Editorial comment

A typical situation for Athens transport: modernization requires temporary inconvenience.

Work to update the infrastructure and present 5G is simply a step forward, but in the abbreviated term the load falls connected passengersespecially successful the evening hours.

The cardinal contented is not the restrictions themselves, but their organization. How efficaciously the replacement by buses will work will go wide successful the archetypal days.

In Athens they are used to such situations, but each clip everything is decided not by statements, but by the existent work of alternate transport.
