Over $13 billion has been pumped in in the last 15, 16 years.
In terms of passenger, long-distance rail has 2.7% of the share.
And in terms of freight, it's truly a joke, really, because it's 0.08% of the freight.
So basically, it carries no freight to speak of.
For the main trunk trip from Athens to Thessaloniki, from essentially the centre to the north, the bus charges €32 one-way trip.
If you do it by air, the rough approximation is €75.
And if you were to do the same trip by a mid-sized car, that would be roughly €95.
So there are four competitors in the mix.
