2014 raised the issue of traffic congestion
Some dared say it was just perception
It seems no one can find a real solution
In the meantime increasing air pollution

Public transport a national catastrophe
Arriva has gone yet still there’s blaspheme
Green buses being turned to white
Let’s hope the Spanish finally get it right

Kappara junction has new plans drafted
Salina coast road has been widened
A bridge to Gozo has been proposed
Yet many are those who have opposed

We heard so much about the roadmap
Budget reintroduced a scheme to scrap
People had their VAT paid back
Car enthusiasts were promised a track

Petrol prices among the highest?
Government says no but might be biased
Car licences increased yet again
Opposition launches a campaign

Road rage and a driver with a bad aim
Seems like inquiry found no one to blame
It took some time for the minister to go
I fear it’s not the end of the show

A mystery car parked on a helipad
Potholes have never been so bad
Minister Mizzi going to work by bus
Now a monorail is being promised to us

New Year’s resolutions each year we write
We promise never to drive through a red light
My message to you is don’t drink and drive
There’s a better chance of staying alive

We at Motoring lie in wait
To see what 2015 will create
News, features and humour too
We promise you many a car review.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
