It is near mayhem every day at Rabat bus terminus at some times of the day, with passengers needing to take a bus having to stand in the middle of the very traffic-heavy road to watch out for their bus or miss it.

I am referring to passengers waiting to take the 51, 52, or 53 bus from Valletta to Mtarfa, Dingli or Rabat (Virtu).

The problem is that their view on their side of the road is completely blocked by parked "Sorry not in service" buses or tourist coaches.

To see their bus they have to go out on the road between these buses and coaches to signal the driver to stop. If they don't and no passenger on the bus wants to stop there, the bus driver drives on, leaving the passengers stranded.
