    Incredible how one (or more) can miss-spell a three letter word which is one of the first words children usually learn how to spell/read.

  2. vic says:

    Insew l-ahhar S

  3. Gracecam says:

    Shame on them, not even capable of writing a simple word. What a waste, all that money spent on duration, by the prior government. That is why Joseph got into power so easily, these people’s heads are filled with sawdust.

  4. Gracecam says:

    education

  5. Stefan Vella says:

    Manuel Mallia’s reserved parking spot.

  6. Volley says:

    Perhaps that was meant to a BOSS-Manuel Mallia comes to mind.

  7. Wheels within Wheels says:

    I think I’m going to cry

  8. in-nemusa says:

    It’s probably where Manuel Mallia “the Boss” should stop

  9. 22 says:

    Typical Labour – what low standards.

  10. catharsis says:

    Hlief b*ss m’ghandniex.

  11. Madoff says:

    It is a pit stop for Don Manuel.

  12. Persil says:

    Are they doing this on purpose? Why not ask l-akkademja for advice? Perhaps it is spelt like that in Maltese.

  13. anthony says:

    This is plain sabotage of the administration.

    The word bus is spelt BUS in all the 200 countries in the world.

    Even completely illiterate people can tell what BUS stands for.

  14. Tinnat says:

    If a bus is waiting on the bus stop, there’s no way in hell that other cars are able to see that “40” sign.

  15. LIXU says:

    This word easily sums up the level of education of our present Govt.

  16. simca says:

    u le kif jista jkun….surely somebody felt like joining the U for a good laugh…and, if this is the case, well done, mission accomplished.

  17. observer says:

    I told you yesterday didn’t I.

    There’s plenty more where that came from.

  18. Socrates says:

    BASS Stop would have been equally excellent PL stuff.

  19. N. Calleja says:

    like a boss

  20. Mim says:

    Unbelievable! Plus of course the destroyed pavement with loose stones a trip hazard and spilling onto the road.

    The huge truck parked in a way where the bus has to overtake by swerving onto the fast lane. As well as the truck leaving no room for pedestrians so they too must walk right into the path of fast moving vehicles.

    I thought that rust was one of the things which are not allowed in VRT. Do trucks go for a VRT?

  21. N. Calleja says:

    Keep calm and wait for Joe Mizzi’s BOS

  22. Peritocracy says:

    This sort of posts used to be mildly amusing, but now they’re just taking up space and drawing attention away from the real issues.

  23. A. Charles says:

    If one parks on a BOS STOP, will one be given a penalty ticket by the traffic wardens?

  24. helen says:

    Spelling aid for the Spanish buses……..when they arrive.

  25. Gee Dee says:

    Imma kif ma jibghux jaqghu ghan-nejk?

  26. bob-a-job says:

    That must be the future site of one of the power station gas tanks

  27. Alexander Ball says:

    It’s a subliminal message for Mizzi: Boss, Stop.

  28. Malti ta' Veru says:

    The level of mediocrity today in EVERYTHING we do as a public service defeats belief. Incompetence at its worst.

  29. ken il malti says:

    Nothing that a bit of black paint cannot fix.

    Oh how I wish that they stop making the curb (kerb) stones out of chalk.

  30. Joe Fenech says:

    Given that most Labourites are Mintoff clones, you would think that in these cases they’d use a template.

  31. Al says:

    Was that pavement broken in rage at the typo? “Haqq Q*ll*c ghamilt zball!’

  32. jeremy castillo says:

    Aside from the spelling mistake, look at that pavement. Is this a photo from Afghanistan after decades of war, or Malta, a member of the EU? DISASTER

  33. Must we advertise our illiteracy and rank incompetence in adequate supervision, so blatantly?

  34. Damocles says:

    Told you the sign said stop farting; now look what you’ve done to the kerb and pavement!

  35. bernie says:

    I dont’know where this sign is. But i think its missing and ‘s’ and could be meant as a reserved parking space for Boss Manwel’s GM14.

  36. sooper lejber says:

    Uwijja ittra wahda hemm zbaljata….u xorta nesa jaghmel ‘S’ ohra fl-ahhar.

  37. Pied Piper says:

    Hello, is anybody home?

  38. Don Camillo says:

    It could be a natural gas filling station, a real non-Arriva Bus stop, a PO box stop and a potential limb breaking stop taking you to Mater Dei. And if you dont be careful it could be a dead end stop with that parked truck.leading straight to the mortuary. Stop

  39. Harry Worth says:

    They dropped an ‘s’ … Cwiec

  40. Watcher of lies says:

    Illiterate incompetents have taken over the ship of state. They aren’t even able to use spell check.

  41. C Falzon says:

    They haven’t understood the new rules for Maltese spelling. Clearly it should be BASS STOPP.

    They probably wrote stopp correctly but we cannot tell from the photo.

    Incidentally was our Prime Minister stamping his feet on that pavement ?

  42. michael seychell says:

    The Chairman of Transport Malta should resign.

  43. Fido says:

    Dak huwa sinjal ta’ kemm hu progressiv dan il-gvern u kemm jaħseb il-quddiem.

    Tal-linja li jaħdmu bid-diesel huma fabbrika oħra tal-kanċer u għalhekk fil-kuntratt il-ġdid se jagħmluhom jaħdmu bil-ġass. Biex tintuza enerġija rinnovabbli, waqt li l-passiġġieri jkunu wieqfa jistennew, jkunu mistennija jogħqodu jbossu; ergo BOS STOP.

  44. gakk says:

    I think they do it on purpose.

  45. David J Camilleri says:

    Besides, who’s brilliant idea was it to put that bus stop just a mere metre from an entrance or exit?

    To make matters worse it looks like some building construction is taking place behind the boundary wall.

    The damage to the pavement (which is too narrow for passersby) shows how safe it is for people to stay there waiting for a bus.

    What about the parked truck obstructing the view of the road that might cause some traffic jams or accident?

  46. Noel says:

    A place where people can stop have the motherf*cker of all farts.

  47. A. Cremona says:

    Does one laugh or cry?

  48. Osservatore says:

    Clearly a far cry from the UK where painting these signs is nothing short of a dance. Just a few chalk markings and the rest is done by hand, to perfection.

  49. U Le! says:

    They c*nt do any better.

  50. Lizz says:

    In the circumstances, the least they could have done was to look at the standing ‘bus stop’ sign for inspiration.

  51. mxs says:

    L-ahjar fl-Ewropa ha nkunu. Tal-biki.

  52. mitluf says:

    And what about the new bus lane near the Msida Labour Party Club?

    You only realise that you are sitting on a hot potato when you arrive at its end. The government will make a bucket of euros from it.

    Nice ploy to fill the treasury.

  53. claire says:

    Ma jistax ikun! This picture is made up.

    [Daphne – No, it isn’t.]
