Why do Gozitans or any other person living on Gozo, have to use either the expensive helicopter service or use taxis to reach the airport? It costs a person travelling from Gozo to the airport between Lm9 – Lm12 (plus 50c to Lm2 for ferry expenses), one way or Lm18 – Lm24 just to get to the airport. Additionally we have to dish out an average of Lm50 for other airport taxes. For Gozitans this may tally up to Lm75. This, just to leave the island!
I fully agree with what Alternattiva Demokratika (AD) – the Green Party is proposing for Gozo, namely the shuttle bus service from Gozo to the airport. This shuttle bus service from international airports exists in all other destinations worldwide. In our country these buses don’t need to be huge coaches. Why should Malta be the exception in this regard?
I feel we ought to be treated better. If AD continues to show that it cares for Gozo, then I can see that Gozitans will regard AD as the best option for the stagnated political system on this island. Sannat residents already did! By such measures, all Gozitans will benefit especially now during these financially hard times. In the end, by such a service, the economy will benefit since people are encouraged to travel more in a comfortable and affordable way.
