Police arrested a 58-year-old bus driver Tuesday morning after stopping his public transport vehicle on the Avdellero–Athienou road for a routine check.
Authorities found the bus carrying 54 passengers, exceeding the legal limit of 50. A subsequent alcohol test showed the driver had a blood alcohol level of 63 μg%, above the permitted 9 μg%.
The driver was taken into custody for immediate offenses and is expected to appear Tuesday before the Larnaca District Court.
The Athienou Police Station continues to investigate the case.
