Transport Malta has instructed Arriva to correct the names of bus stops along the Sliema front, Transport Minister Austin Gatt has confirmed.

Nationalist MP Robert Arrigo pointed out that the bus stops named Exiles, Dud and Ghadir were wrongly placed and caused confusion since they were contrary to every map there was of Sliema.

He also asked whether a better name than 'Dud' could be found for a bus stop.

The minister confirmed that Transport Malta has asked Arriva to allocate the bus stop names properly according to their location. He said TM had noted the call for the name 'Dud' to be replaced, although, he said, this was a reference to Ghar id-Dud.

Replying to another question, Dr Gatt said Transport Malta was reviewing every bus route on the basis of its use and suggestions made by commuters.
