My wife and I have visited Malta for many years and did so again this year. I am not the first and not the last to miss the old iconic yellow buses and their equally iconic drivers.

This year brought back two memories as we used a replacement bus: the whiplash every time the driver changed gear and a bus that sounded as though its rear wheel bearing was seizing up. It did eventually break down but for another reason.

My reason for writing is the routes. One used to go from A to B (for example, Sliema to Mdina) direct. Arriva arrived and started to go from A to D to C and, finally, to B.

My question is: when the new public transport company takes over will the original routes be restored?
