ADPD’s Cacopardo calls high fuel prices “godsend” solution to reduce traffic

Nov 6 2022

In an interview with The Malta Independent on Sunday, APDD chairperson Carmel Cacopardo argued that the removal of subsidies on fuel would definitely reduce traffic in Malta.

The green party chair stated that removing petrol and diesel subsidies should not only decrease traffic in Malta but push for the improvement of Maltese public transport.

“On Thursday schools reopened and traffic jams were everywhere. This also means that the measures to provide school transport are ineffective. Most probably they have not been taken up sufficiently.”

Addressing the introduction of free public transport in Malta, Cacopardo stated that the implementation was premature and that further study to ensure its efficiency and reliability should have been conducted. He went on to argue that Malta requires campaigning for a change in behaviour with regards to transport.

Do you agree?
