Gozitan students have criticised a decision by Malta Public Transport to discontinue a bus route linking Ċirkewwa to the University of Malta s Msida campus.
Bus route X300, which was only inaugurated six months ago, used to connect Gozo Channel ferry services to the campus, Mater Dei Hospital and Junior College.
It will now operate from Lascaris Wharf at the Grand Harbour, where passengers can catch a 45-minute fast ferry to Gozo.
Transport Minister Ian Borg announced the change as he inaugurated the new fast ferry services on Tuesday. He later said that it no longer made sense to take the buses all the way up to Ċirkewwa with the introduction of the fast ferries between Mġarr and Valletta.
