The Malta Federation of Organisations Persons with Disability has been informed that special reduced bus fares have been conceded by Arriva to disabled persons who are blue card holders (mostly mobility impaired persons) but not to all other persons with a disability.
While appreciating the concession given to these persons, we cannot understand why Arriva is discriminating among persons with disability when all are equally subject to fall within the poverty bracket.
We would much appreciate if this concession were to be extended to all yellow card holders, which means all persons with a disability who are registered as such with the National Commission Persons with Disability.
