More than 5,000 people used the special night service offered by Arriva on New Year’s Eve, taking 91 buses from Valletta between midnight and 2 a.m.

Arriva said it was “extremely satisfied” with the “very smooth running” of the transport service from Valletta early on Sunday morning.

It thanked all its employees who worked the regular services during the day and those who volunteered the night service as their efforts “guaranteed the highest level of service” for everybody.

It also thanked Transport Malta and the police for their collaboration and efforts in managing the crowds and traffic.

Following the successful special service on New Year’s Eve and the equally successful one offered during last Notte Bianca, Arriva said it was confident more people would leave their cars at home.
