Crete has quite a good local bus service with a modern A/C fleet.
The local and regional bus services are run by regional collectives known as Kino Tamio Eispraxeon Leoforon or KTEL.

What this boils down to is that many of the coaches are owned by the driver and his family who obviously have a vested interest in providing the best possible service.
