In reply to admin.

And with the subsidy going up, expect a hefty rise in fares as well and soon.

But all is ‘OK’ in this sham of an island. And while I am writing about hefty rises, has anyone noticed how much the cost of living has skyrocketed, especially for food and other essential products?

In reply to Lestrade.

It was orchestrated and paid for just as they used to do when in Opposition.

There are a number of ‘plants’ and moles working as journalists with various media.

This man is a fool. Arriva’s buses made no long-duration stops as the old system did, such as waiting for 15 minutes or half an hour at a village terminus.

Such wait times, that in a work day of 18 hours would add up to some 18 quarter hours = 4.5 hours per day per bus, means a loss on the capital investment of the bus itself, 4.5 hours of wasted driver pay resulting in a hefty loss that would run into millions in one year.

Now bus trips are back to the old regime, with huge losses being accumulated.

This minister needs to read a book on economics, or find a job cooking French fries at McDonalds drive-thru.

In reply to Kurt Mifsud Bonnici. Joe Mizzi is a one-eyed king among the politically blind Cottonera voters.

In reply to Spinowla.

‘..I can also tell the difference between most of the drivers of the hired buses and the better-behaved and better-trained former Arriva drivers…’

Guess who’s being harassed and intimidated with the GWU looking elsewhere. The same GWU recorded colluding with a contractor for public tenders.

In reply to ciccio. That's right, ciccio. Times of Malta is also responsible for much of the damage done to the previous government, thus putting these stooges in power.

What about the service we are getting? Old mini buses are being used even on many hospital routes. The elderly, those using walking aids or a wheelchair and mothers with pushchairs are not able to get on these mini buses.

Enough is enough, Mr. Mizzi.

Mizzi might be a right proper imbecile but he certainly knows where Malta’s oil deposits are.

He probably interprets the old adage literally.

Iz-zejt jitla’ f’wicc l-ilma.

That would make it really cheap to extract.

All we need is to relocate all our petrol stations along the coastline, MEPA permitting, and provide them with jellyfish filters.

What a disastrous lot.

“Il-Ministru Mizzi fakkar ukoll kif il-Gvern preżenti bħalissa għaddej bil-proċess biex jidentifika l-aħjar operatur li se jkun responsabbli biex jipprovdi servizz effiċjenti u sostenibbli ta’ trasport pubbliku.” (Albert Gauci Cunningham).

On one hand we have Mizzi Joe li “għaddej bil-proċess biex jidentifika l-aħjar operatur li se jkun responsabbli biex jipprovdi servizz effiċjenti u sostenibbli ta’ trasport pubbliku”, and on the other we have Joe Mizzi declaring that it is not only impossible to have a sustainable public transport but it will only get worst. At least under his watch.
