A 47-year-old man from Cospicua says he is on a hunger strike in protest over the new bus service.

Manwel Cini in a video posted on Youtube, says he has been a prisoner in his own home for the past two weeks after the bus routes were changed. He previously used to go to swim daily in St Thomas Bay or the Park of Friendship. He now needs three buses to go there.

He says he has not eaten since Saturday and is called for the resignation or removal of Transport Minister Austin Gatt.

Clarification

This story originally reported that Mr Cini suffers fits. Mr Cini has insisted however that he does not suffer fits. An inconvenience is regretted.
