The Gozo University Group (GUG) said that as the only organisation that supports Gozitan students in Malta, it has conducted a study regarding the new transport system: Arriva focusing on the X1 route after the first month of the new academic year.

“Many questions and difficulties have been posed to us by Gozitan students regarding the new bus route system, in particular the X1 bus route,” GUG said, “as a result, GUG decided to conduct a study to make sure that the responsible authorities immediately tackle such difficulties and concerns and thus the Gozitan students no longer have to encounter additional difficulties when continuing their further studies.”

GUG said that, “in the study one can find the questions identified and discussed with our members to enable the formulation of this study and to highlight the situation with its pros and cons with the direct experience of our members.”

“It was also found from this study,” GUG continued, “that not only Gozitan students are suffering from the lack of adequate service but also Gozitan families who have their relatives as patients at Mater Dei and also the patients themselves. Therefore this situation is directly affecting a far more number of people that one might expect and creating a critical and unnecessary situation for many.”

GUG concluded by saying that it “has also worked on suggestions, to mediate and solve this problem. GUG strongly believes that this recurring issue must be amended immediately. That is why GUG intends to keep on prying and working hard on this troubling matter until the adequate and reasonable service is concurred.”
