I fully agree with Alfred Conti Borda (‘Public transport prob­­lems’, The Sunday Times of Malta, April 10), about the danger of sudden breaking by route buses, especially for standing passengers.

It was because of such a sudden breaking that I was knock­ed down on the floor of Bus no. 47 coming from Santa Venera to Birkirkara four months ago and suffered an injury to my leg.

After having an operation I am still in great pain, I limp when I walk and I use a walking stick.

Since that accident I have not boarded a public bus again as I am still scared of doing so.
