This is how things are done in democratic countries:

Well argued and calculated. Well done.

Interest paid on debt incurred to build from scratch a country’s infrastructure (e.g. a power station, water desalination plants, an airport terminal, a hospital, a telecommunications system, a Freeport, a cruise liner terminal, decent roads, safe boats to cross between Malta and Gozo, a terminal in Cirkewwa, etc. etc. etc. is an INVESTMENT! if not for anything, to bring Malta out of a third world state into a modern EU democracy. I know it, you know it, we all know it, but people like you can’t accept it because you will be for ever on the wrong side of history.

What a silly, desperate argument!

Arriva must be laughing and thanking their lucky stars. Meanwhile we are faced with possible increases in taxes / fares to make good for this blunder, while the service slowly but surely degenerates into its former state with slovenly drivers and old buses. But this is Labour in action. Lanzit for not managing to make the reform itself, so destroy it and start anew. What a sad, sad place.

No. Renegotiation was not the best solution.

The solutions for the PL government were:

1. Keep the bendy buses on the roads. They were stopped because of a capricious decision when the indications were that the three bendy bus fires were an act of sabotage.

2. To be positive about the Arriva bus service and encourage people to use the service. Government should have worked with Arriva to see how it can increase passengers and income.

3. Make it clear that you have no intention of stopping the contract with Arriva. Those who were campaigning against Arriva would have got the message and stopped campaigning.

4. Impose more discipline on the collection of fares. There were some drivers who were not collecting the fare from passengers, possibly to reduce the income to Arriva.

For commercial reasons, the campaigners were very determined to have Arrvia removed. It was a situation, however, which could have been saved had the PL government acted differently.

Now that Arriva have left, Joe Mizzi is paying the price using taxpayers money.

As someone who use the bus service every day, I can confirm this is the case.

Mizzi is keeping busy playing with Franco’s cocks.

I can’t go anywhere on Youtube without having to click the bloody things off.

Now I can have a family, now I get a stipend…Shurrrup.
