Parking at the Pembroke Park and Ride facility during an evening out to Paceville with friends or family will not cost a cent during this festive period for those who make use of Arriva’s special shuttle service between the Park and Ride area and the entertainment mecca.
Arriva is offering a direct shuttle service between the Pembroke Park and Ride facility and the centre of Paceville, every night until 8 January. The minibus service will be available daily between 6pm and 4am, with a trip every 30 minutes. Moreover, the return ticket for the minibus costs €2.50 and is valid for the driver and up to four passengers. In other words, up to five people can use the service for the price of €2.50, if they drive to Pembroke Park and Ride in one car… and they will park for free.
“Parking in the Paceville area is always difficult, even more so during the festive season, when many groups choose the area for their nights out. Our special service during these nights is aimed at helping clients enjoy their nights out without all the hassle of looking for a parking spot and being stuck in traffic. The shuttle service between Pembroke and Paceville will be available all through the night and will cost only €2.50, including free parking in the Pembroke Park and Ride,” said an Arriva spokesperson.
“Moreover, with an aim to limit the number of cars on our streets during the festive nights, we would like to encourage more and more people to car pool and choose a designated driver who abstains from drinking this Christmas. In this spirit, our special shuttle service will not only be available to the driver but, at the same price of €2.50, includes up to four passengers who travel in the same car along with the driver,” said an Arriva spokesperson.
Arriva Malta urged motorists to drive safely at all times, particularly during these days of festivities, and consider all possible repercussions before embarking on unsafe behaviour, such as drinking and driving, answering phones while driving or not wearing a seatbelt when on the road.
