Since the introduction of Bendy-Buses by Arriva in Malta;
- The promised original small number of bendy-buses planned for 4 express routes has been supplimented by a massive influx (68) of such vehicles on unsuitable domestic routes.
- Traffic congestion has increased.
- Bendy buses are unsuited to Maltese roads and carriageway widths.
- bendy-buses are unable to pull fully into bus bays.
- Several Bendy-buses have been involved in serious accidents.
- Several cyclists have been injured (two in hit and run incidents).
- Several bendy-buses have been involved in fire incidents.
- Following removal from service due to the fire safety concerns by the Maltese Govt, 65 normal capacity buses/coaches replaced 68 high capacity bendy-buses. Indicating that the claimed high capacity is not necessary.
Based upon the above Bendy Buses should be removed from service in Malta.
