Something else to look forward to when I return. What I like best is all the happy shiny smiley people .. Doesn't it make the world a better place when people smile? And it doesn't cost a thing. ]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2011 12:48:46 -0500 3591-1006 http://www.planetmona.com/opinions-on-planetmona/52-social/3591-arriva-heres-a-friendly-word-of-warning-from-a-happy-bus-user Well-versed article :)) Couldn't stop smiling whilst reading...ended up laughing watching the video! Thumbs-up to the producers. You really started off my day on a good mood.

I was very happy with the service !!! In over nine different buses we only had one mishap and delay and it was due to the electronics on the bus. But the female Arriva driver apologised, called her superiors who came to assist her immediately. In all I think I had one ex yellow bus driver, and the rest where all new drivers two of which where women. Only one of them complained and it was to criticize the system that charges the foreigners more therefore he had to as a passenger for ID when he was in doubt if he was Maltese or Foreign. (I agree with the driver ... its stupid) All that travelling for Euro 1.50 bargain :) I will be using Arriva again :) ]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:52:38 -0500
