Gozo Minister says government is looking into Mgarr park and ride service

The Gozo Ministry has begun looking into the possibility of introducing a park and ride service for the Mgarr port, and has issued a call for applications for a study.

Gozo Minister Justyne Caruana said that government in aware of the problems Gozitan students and workers face, having to cross over the Malta for work and for their studies. 

One such problem, the minister said, is that there are not enough parking spaces.

"This is why government proposed a park and ride so that during the peak traffic times, Gozo would have this alternative system."

Minister Justyne Caruana said that this was one of the first projects the Gozo ministry began working on, with the first phase being  a study of the project itself, the demand, and operational recommendations of the park and ride.

 The public call was issued on 22 September and closes on 13 October. A public consultation, she said, must occur as part of this exercise.
