I've got another quote for you, if that's possible.
voice-verified
Yes, please.

Last time you said it would be 700 euros to travel from Thessaloniki to Athens.

What would happen if we had four passengers?
voice-verified
So you can get four passengers in your cab, and would the price be the same?
voice-verified
And what if we were to have a return journey in there?
voice-verified
How much would it be then, if the cab was full both ways?
voice-verified
That's great, Greg.
voice-verified
Thank you very much for your help with that.
voice-verified
That's brilliant.
voice-verified
Thank you.

Well, the government could put this towards the taxi fare.
voice-verified
So the passenger pays around €6 per kilometre for the train when they pay for their ticket.
voice-verified
Now, if they paid the same for their taxi fare...
voice-verified
that would bring down the cost of each passenger kilometre in the taxi to €12, which is vastly cheaper than the subsidised train.
voice-verified
Which are €60.

voice-verified
Well, in recent editions of More or Less, we've tackled a lot of Eurostats, some of the wad of statistics which have emerged with increasing frequency as the Euro crisis has deepened.
voice-verified
There's something missing there, Wes.
voice-verified
Well, yes, I've been looking at the Greek rail system.
