After seeing how Arriva stuffed up their Bendy Buses on main routes through Sliema and St.Julians this is the total opposite of the news I was expecting !

They should have been generating loads of money from overloading their buses. I don'z know any other country with such constant overloading of buses and still they are making losses?

Incredible news. They have messed things up for two years and they are still earning those salaries ? Who is responsible to let them go on ...?

I'm looking forward to the exact figures !

Cheers
Ricky

The amount you need in Euros to buy 264 buses is a 8 digit number. Indeed I read that the cost of starting-up the service was 35 million euro. Depending on how they are financially amortizing that investment, even with the huge subside it might have sense to need years to reach profits.
