Although not a public transport user, like many I had expectations with regard to the new transport system.

When it was mentioned that Arriva would also be using bendy-buses in Malta I thought this to be a good idea since I took it to mean that they would be used on main trunk roads, such as the airport to populated destinations, Ċirkewwa to Valletta, and so on.

However, since seeing the front page picture in The Times the other day of a bendy-bus stuck trying to manoeuvre into Paceville, and after this afternoon being stuck following a convoy of three such vehicles from Spinola all the way through Sliema, I have converted. I am now convinced that Arriva management are really round the bend!
