The government is mulling the staggering of working hours in order to prevent rush-hour crowds on public transport, Infrastructure and Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis revealed on Sunday, speaking on SKAI television. He said that the idea, which calls for a spread of employee arrivals over three separate stages instead of one big wave squeezed in between 7:30 and 8:30, has been put to the prime minister for consideration.

Infrastructure and Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis stressed the importance of US officials' visit to the conference held on Saturday at the port of Alexandroupolis.
