Arriva has apologised for yesterday evening's incident where a bendy bus got stuck in Qormi Road, Hamrun. It said the bus should never have been there.

The bus tried to perform a u-turn and got stuck. It was able to turn once a parked car was removed.

In a statement, Arriva said the incident was the result of an ill-judged decision by an individual bus driver.

"Late yesterday evening, Arriva’s investigation into the incident revealed that the driver had mistakenly taken a wrong turn abandoning the designated route and that the vehicle involved was was never meant to be operating along that particular road."

While apologising, Arriva said it was  taking all actions deemed necessary to ensure that such incidents were not repeated.
