As the Gozo Channel service is every 30 minutes for much of the day and there are the fast ferries in addition, why is it there is not also a TD 301 Mgarr to Victoria instead of the current 301 which much of the time does not connect with anything. For instance, passengers disembark at Mgarr at approximately 6.10pm off the 5.45pm ferry from Cirkewwa and the first bus of any number is 6.38pm to Victoria. And, I am sure as many people as might use the TD30 and TD31 would wish to get to Victoria but no bus to tie in with the fast ferry for them!
Good morning, whilst thanking you for the excellent service of TD31 from Cirkewwa to Marsalforn, May I kindly ask you if it is at all possible to extend this bus to Xwejni bus stop? There are only four more stages to add. We are a group of senior citizens- Gozitan and Maltese and we travel very often to Malta and vice versa with luggage. Honestly it would help us a lot if you could kindly consider this request
Thank you
