Only in Malta Recently bus passengers had their trip delayed when a bus driver decided to make an unscheduled stop at a bus stop near to a supermarket. He turned off the engine and left the bus for a few minutes, before returning with a loaf of white bread while the passengers sat on the bus waiting for him. On another occasion, a different bus driver was seen leaving his bus, again with passengers on it, and crossing the road to buy a couple of pastries, before returning and continuing the journey.
