Résumé anglais The transport network of Greece has been improved substantially, with the roads accounting for the largest part of the traffic. The bus network, known as KTEL, is a decentralised, co-operative organisation serving all the towns and villages. It provides a vital link between urban and rural areas. Until 1970 the activities of KTEL expanded. Since then the number of passengers has declined but not the number of lines. Traffic is still increasing between the major towns but is falling on the lines serving villages, as the number of private cars has risen and the rural population has declined. An example of the network is given by the department of Ioannina, with 80 different routes. Profits from the Ioannina-Athens line finance local loss-making routes.
