I had read that the Citaros had gone to the Maltese government as part of the deal. Either way they are scrapyard fodder as the cost of getting the back here would probably be more than they're worth.

No, all vehicles, excluding the Citaro Gs, and Arrivas Shares in Arriva Malta have transferred to the Maltese Government.

If they do put the network out to tender again, it will probably be won by another foreign Bus Operating Company, who will be hounded the same way Arriva was. Arriva was setting up a good network, with smart, presentable and accessible young vehicles.

If Government wants so much control, they should nationalise the Bus Network, like another Island Country. Bus Malta?
