Sometimes I wish the island of Malta where I was born would just sink into the Mediterranean!

I’m sick of hearing about the corruption and intrigue that goes on there! Not to mention the dabacle of the National Bank of Malta seized shares from the shareholders by the then government. The world is watching you.

In reply to Jozef. You're an absolute fake and a liar.

In reply to Raphael dingli. There is a different fee and always has been. The economic issue is that the government wants to keep fares generally low to encourage more use BUT such low fares are only feasible with higher demand (not there) or subsidy.

In reply to Gary. That one euro is needed to categorise the transfer as a sale (i.e. a transfer for consideration). I think you will find that the shares in National Bank were also transferred for an Lm1 or similar token price.

In reply to Jozef. Jozef, if you were a woman I'd propose right now.

I read somewhere that there is one fare irrespective of distance travelled? Is this still the case. If so , this policy needs revisiting. I think most would agree that a trip from Valletta to Floriana should have a far cheaper price than one from Valletta to Mellieha . Please stick to issue and ignore the politics for once.

Those who claimed that one should look to the future, and not harp back to the days of Mintoff and KMB, should realise by now that we are going back to those days, and at a much faster rate than anyone had foreseen.

“The government is focussed and is working towards handing public transport back to the people, ensuring transport that serves people’s needs,” the PL said in a statement.

We have it straight and plain what the plan was and will be – no professional management just people’s management.

In reply to Jozef. Why do you imply it has worked? It's a total fail.

In reply to Jozef. If people do not want to walk the 250 mt to a bus stop then they do not deserve what is after all subsidised public transport. Let them pay for a taxi!
