A Maltese journalist says bendy buses aren’t the laughing stock a Manx politician claimed they are.
Last week in Tynwald, North Douglas MHK John Houghton said the Isle of Man shouldn’t introduce the articulated vehicles, citing Malta as an example where they’d caused problems.
But Patrick Cooke of the Times of Malta says after initial teething troubles, the buses there have settled in well.
He says the debate in the Isle of Man is very similar to that of the Mediterranean island back in 2011.
