Increase heating allowancebut also the expansion of the perimeter of the grant, said a government spokesman Yannis Oikonomouhowever, he confirmed that a plan to reduce the cost of transportation is being considered, and that the relevant ministries are working on ideas that go beyond the usual ones to support citizens.

Recall that, as they wrote cathimerini.gr as well as moneyreview.gr, measures to increase the use of public transport, in line with similar actions by other countries such as Germany, should be included in the package to be announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at TIF.

Speaking on SKAI TV and when asked if a “German” plan to reduce media ticket prices is on the table, Mr. Economou replied that this particular measure is also one of those that the government is considering, that don’t stop at conclusions or normal movements.

A government spokesman said that the measure in question concerns the daily life of citizens, movement, saving resources and energy of vehicles. “Competent ministries will use all available opportunities,” he added.

At the same time, Mr. Economou assured that measures to support the energy crisis would be continued. “We have horizontal measures for electricity, Fuel Pass 2 applies for fuel, we’ll see how we solve problems there, and for the heating quota we have more money and an extended perimeter every year, and this year will not be an exception. We have proven that we understand and respond to the demands and needs of the world,” Mr. Oikonomou said.

The TIF package also includes cheap transport tickets.

How did they write it? cathimerini.gr as well as moneyreview.gron the “table” are two proposals for transportation:

• The first concerns the creation of an unlimited travel package for a limited time, similar to the one implemented for three summer months in Germany, when they gave monthly cards for buses, subways, trams and suburban trains costing only 9 euros.
• The second proposal is more targeted, as it provides free cards with unlimited travel for young people under 29, since, like last year, the government intends to announce a separate package of measures for this age group. .

The final decisions will be taken next week, when the overall package of measures announced by the Prime Minister in his speech on Saturday, September 10, will be “locked in”.
