MHRA concerned over drop in bus service at height of season
The MHRA has expressed its concern over complaints lodged by tourists staying in the Qawra area on the delays they are experiencing in bus services.
The long queues which developed in Qawra yesterday, coupled with the fact that people had to endure a long wait without any shelter from the sun, is completely unacceptable.
Those living and staying in Qawra have already been suffering inconvenience arising from the unnecessary delay in completing the refurbishing of the bus terminus, during which buses were allowed to block the only access road to the seafront indiscriminately. Residents and tourists alike now have to deal with an insufficient public transport service, and often have to wait for long periods of time without any form of shelter.
The MHRA called on the authorities to resolve this issue immediately so that a repeat of the situation does not occur anywhere on the island until Arriva takes over the public transport service in early July. Situations such as these can cause irreparable damage to Malta’s image.
