Buses back at Tritons Fountain

Confusion reigned at the Valletta bus terminus yesterday after some buses had to temporarily return to the original bus bays around the Tritons Fountain until the nearby terminus is extended.

Buses serving the Sliema area have been allocated temporary bays around the fountain, last used as a terminus in July before the new Arriva service was introduced.

Bus services will increase considerably from next week when routes from all localities to Valletta will be re-introduced. The company is deploying an additional 36 buses to handle the demand.

The Valletta terminus will remain at St James Ditch but is being extended by four bays.
