I was amused by the picture sent by Alfred Brincat (The Sunday Times, August 8), showing a Gozitan bus driver driving barefoot.
I think this is a very safe way to drive, and I myself always drive this way, weather permitting.
By the way, I have always felt perfectly safe on Maltese buses, even those that have been around for decades. This is perhaps due to the fact that some drivers are... barefoot?
