Woman hospitalised after long wait at Valletta terminus
The teething problems at the new Valletta bus terminus have claimed their first casualty.
A woman, believed to be aged around 60, felt faint while waiting for one of the new Arriva buses under the heat of July, with no bus shelter for cover.
She was accompanied by her husband. Also present during the incident was Amanda Ciappara, the communications coordinator in the transport ministry, who was assisting the woman.
MaltaToday journalist Nestor Laiviera witnessed the incident: “There is a great accumulation of people at the bus terminus. The moment a bus stops to alight passengers, it is immediately swamped by commuters jostling to get on board.
“People are not aware of the way new public transport system works. There are two temporary shelters, but they are not next to the bus stops so nobody is using them.”

I refuse to believe that anybody would be willing to wait for three hours in the scorching sun for a busride. If it is true, then that someone was in a no particular hurry, was not going to work, didn't have an appointment and must be a glutton for punishment. Today everybody carries a mobile, so people caught in that situation can very easily phone a taxi and share it with others.

For fairness sake, we must give time for the new service to settle. But we cannot forgive the governments who failed to deliver on promises to reform the service for the last 20 years! Here's a list of all the failing ministers and the ticket price which still kept rising:

Kull ma jagħmel GONEZI u sħabu bilfors jispiċċa ħażin għax huma serqu l-elezzjoni u min jisraq ma jgawdix dak li jisraq.
Fittex itlaq u sejjaħ elezzjoni GONEZI għax issa qażżist lill-poplu.

Il-Libya,, L-afganistan, Is-Sirja, L-iran, L-Iraq - dawn ghandhom transport publiku ahjar minn taghna - L-awqa li Austin powers immur ix-xoghol bil-JAGUAR u int ja MALTA IMBECCILI ghoqod stenna fix-xemx. Imma bhall ma jghid il-Malti Minn jixtieq id-denni li ghajru jigi wara daru.

The Change from the old servie to the new is already being felt... instead of swearing Bus Drivers , we are having commuters and passengers doing the swearing!
Arriva were quite quick to protest and claim compensation, and given , when there was a change of route when Bisazza was given the status of a pedestrian zone - Will Dr. Gonzi claim comensation for these disruptions in service with the same zeal Arriva claimed theirs??????
