Since its October 2023 launch, over 30 parents have shown interest, with 13 enrolled and approximately 15 children participating daily. Beyond reducing congestion, it fosters community bonds.

The initiative encourages the ‘walking bus’, which sees parents and children walking to school, with parents who cannot manage to attend also having the option of dropping their kids with the rest of the guardians.

A massive march took place in Valletta yesterday condemning the massacres in Gaza and calling for an end to aggression.

The march started in front of the Prime Minister’s office and took the streets of Valletta through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Justice and the Birth Cave and ended in front of the President’s Palace.

Attended by former president of Malta Dr. Carrie LaRice Colero Brica and other prominent figures and activists, participants carried coffins in front of the Birth Cave to convey a message that the birth-land has now become a cemetery for thousands.

Demonstrators held makeshift coffins and ‘bodybags’ of children whilst waving the flag or donning the colours of Palestine.

Man Slams Bus Driver Perspex For Allegedly Driving Too Far

Dec 18 2023

Videos sent to this newsroom show a passenger slamming a bus driver’s protective perspex after they were allegedly, and according to the passenger, not stopped immediately.

It is still currently unclear whether the man simply missed his stop or whether the driver did not stop when requested.

The man proceeded to slam the perspex which creates a barrier between him and the driver, using very strong language as he tells off the driver for stopping him too far from where he wanted.

The man also turned towards the other passengers who attempted to calm down his anger, telling them to not get involved.

Another video shows the bus having stopped and a police officer having addressed the situation. MaltaDaily has reached out to the police and other relevant authorities for further information.

UPDATE: A Malta Public Transport spokesperson informed this newsroom that the incident was reported on 16/12 by the driver and an internal investigation is underway.

CCTV footage shows that the passenger boarded the bus in Valletta and ‘wanted to get off the bus after the bus passed the Floriana bus stop.’

‘The driver followed procedure by only stopping on the correct bus stop’, with the police arriving shortly after the passenger had left, the spokesperson explained.

The spokesperson condemned the violent actions by the passenger on the driver who was doing his duty, given that they can only stop on designated bus stops.
