Cyprus Public Transport has rejected an audit report which found that 63% of surveyed participants would not choose its services. The operator insists it has already moved past the issues identified in the study, though the report remains a point of contention. This dismissal comes as Nicosia is named the Mediterranean champion for bus ticket prices, offering the lowest fares in the region.
The health system has begun covering the medication Mounjaro for adults with Type II diabetes and obesity, while the Ministry of Labour has released tables projecting how a new reform will increase pensions. These measures address cost-of-living concerns, even as the Fiscal Council warns the public wage bill is scheduled to leap to €4 billion by 2028.
A 32-year-old woman has died 42 days after being hit by a vehicle in Limassol. Elsewhere, the Attorney-General has described media reports of institutional cover-ups as dangerous to democracy, asserting that such claims undermine the state's integrity.
