Some consolation The government has declared itself heartened by the fact that three companies have expressed an interest in taking over as operator. But it’s not as if we haven’t been here already. McGill, a Scottish bus company, was approached by the government soon after Arriva left, and didn’t take long to leave the negotiating table, complaining of a lack of openness on the part of government. Maybe Muscat’s government will keep the three companies interested long enough until the representative of one puts his signature on the dotted line. No doubt this will come at a very high price and while the government might have saved his skin, it’s unlikely that we will be able to say the same of the public transport service.
