The Communist Party of Malta expresses its solidarity towards all those people that had to face difficulties in order to make use of public transport, due to lack of proper public consultation, haste and arrogance. Many were late for work while others were forced to absent themselves from work. This resulted in many people having to wake up earlier in order to arrive at work on time.

The party sympathises with all those people that whenever they tried to express their concerns regarding the service, many were ridiculed and told that they did not understand how the service works.

The party therefore believes that there is no credible excuse for this fiasco. We expect that someone should bear the responsibility for all this. We also expect that the money paid for the planning of the routes, should be returned back to the state, so that the government could use that money on social services.

The party also expresses solidarity with those workers who were made ‘sacrificial lambs’.
