DOZENS of lives can be saved if the public learns to use newly introduced night buses to and from Nicosia, authorities said yesterday.
The buses, available only at the weekend and covering seven Larnaca and Nicosia district villages, will hopefully change teenagers’ and adults’ attitudes to drink driving and public transport.
Sir,
With the water situation being rather critical and with most of the projections that it will not improve any time soon, can Cyprus support a farming industry?
Sir,
As a newcomer to this lovely island, I am reluctant to be labelled as a “know all”, but I have followed the various articles on the water shortage, and the letters to the editor on the same subject. I cannot help wondering if there is an obvious measure which would at least alleviate the problem.
Sir,
I would like to voice my support for your idea (editorial, Sunday Mail, April 13) that people should face punitive charges for using excessive amounts of water.
Sir,
I drive past a British base every week, and all the Cypriot drivers, all of them are driving like good boys, because is no koumbaros to let them off for speeding.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
