Back in the limelight (1)
I refer to the interview with Manuel Delia (The Sunday Times, October 28). In the months and weeks leading to the introduction of the Arriva bus service, the man was hogging the air waves to saturation point.
I clearly remember what Delia said on Radio 101 during a live link while on one of the buses a couple of hours into the new service in June last year: “All is ship-shape and plain sailing here, but for one snag: the air condition-ing. A handful of passengers on this summer morning are complaining that the temperature’s too low.”
After the many problems that accompanied the introduction of this new service, the man shunned the media and kept out of the public eye. The new bus service was so poor that it had to undergo major structural changes in less than a year of operation.
Now that Delia is contesting the general election, he is back in the media, notwithstanding the fact that public transport is in such a bad state.

The situation in Marsascala ie the forgotten South of Malta, where we are considered a bunch of idiots has barely improved. We are still waiting for the N91 from Paceville to Marsascala to go up Triq il Qaliet, by leaving young ladies to walk over 20 minutesboth Arriva & TM are risking that one of our children gets attacked. There have already been reports of young women being pestered.

Mr Genovese as they say " You live with a pig, you start to look like a pig". Maybe Mr Delia is asking us to forget all the atrocities and heartaches, he and his boss caused the Maltese bus ridership for the last two years. It would be very irresponsible to elect such people to hold office. As they say in Maltese "ma min rajtek xebbahtek". Some people have no shame.

I also remember Manuel Delia saying that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Well now we have eaten the pudding and it doesn't taste good at all!
