An extra budget of 18.3 million euros for Greece's urban and nationwide coach buses (KTEL) was announced by Transport & Infrastructure Minister Christos Staikouras on Friday.

The extra aid will help the transport sector deal with increases in fuel costs of up to 65% that arose as a consequence of the crisis in Ukraine, Staikouras underlined.
