Missing bus shelter

The Ministry for Infrastructure, Transport and Communication (MITC) has booked advertising space in newspapers inviting readers to submit ideas on how to improve the public transport service.

If this initiative is taken seriously and with commitment, commuters would expect the ministry to embark on new projects.

May I remind the MITC about some unfinished business: the installation of a new bus shelter in Joseph M. Genuis Street, Vittoriosa. The Notification of Development Permit No. PA 06183/06 dates to October 9, 2006.

It is about time officials from the Transport Authority or MITC put their cards on the table and explain why the installation of this bus shelter has been postponed for two years.

Needless to say drivers and operators in the sector, are to blame, eh?! There again, the bus never turns up!! Do you ever make use of public transport? Oh, maybe you're from Kelly Isles where there are no buses. Don't you realise that the problems mentioned hereunder are a shame for us Maltese not having resolved! And there are more to the list.

Mater Dei, such a project not including a decent terminus! No public convenience at all! Let alone a decent bus stop! No Bus Terminus was considered in the original plans!! Well, the drivers are not human!! Why bother providing them with some facilities? Most Maltese people have been abroad, and certainly know what a decent terminus is all about. Why spend millions? We don't need more of the same senseless talking which we have been fed for years. Radical change!! We need to do that in our mentality first. I sincerely urge all those involved, let's learn to walk before we start running! Let’s start from somewhere. Please do realise that time is precious for all of us. We are suffering the lack of properly surfaced roads besides making a fool of ourselves as a Nation!

So we get a shelter to sit under while waiting for a bus which never turns up?

Good to see we have our priorities in order.

Then there is Mater Dei,
If it`s summer,escape the sun, hide under the tree whilst waiting for the hourly bus.
If it`s winter and raining just get wet for an hour.
You`ll dry before you get there! ta
