I hadn’t used the Park and Ride facility to go to Valletta since the departure of Arriva. About 10 days ago I thought of giving it a try but what a disaster it proved to be!

The journey to Valletta from the car park took, as usual, about five minutes but when it was time to go back for my car it was a nightmare.

The five-minute journey now takes an hour. The other passengers and I waited for over half an hour in a gale force wind for the mini-van to arrive. When it did, instead of taking us directly to the car park we went on a half hour tour of Valletta, so instead of getting home in 20 minutes it took me one hour and a quarter.

What a shame. I will never use the facility again unless things go back to the way they were before. No wonder the fee is now just 40c. Even that was robbery as we got a lousy service. I prefer to pay €1.50 and get a decent service.

By the way, it seems that in the past year most people have lost their voice and ‘pens’ to complain about things which have regressed instead of progressed .
