Transportation with Local Busses

Malta,
Malta


A tip for anyone who wants to see all the interesting sights in Malta, without spending too much.
Take the local busses, they are reliable,( the old busses are really an adventure to drive in but in July they will be replaced by new ones.) they go to all the tourist attractions places and is very cheap,a one way ticket cost from €0.54 to €1.16.
Most of them go every 15 minutes.
The first bus starts at 5.30 A.M. last bus is usually around 11.00 P.M. in the summer .
You can also purchase a day ticket from the bus driver which cost €3.49, 5 and 7 days are also available.
The Hop on Hop off busses are good only if you want to stay on it and go sightseeing and cost €15.00.
When you hop off somewhere the next bus comes after an half hour or later and sometimes they are full and you have to wait for the next one which means you wait one hour or more and sometimes the top deck is full and you have to sit inside where you don't see very much.
One tour goes to the north and one goes to the South.
If you hop on and off you have very little time to see and do all things you want to do and see, like taking pictures, lunch etc.,which means you can only visit one attraction ( for €15.00)
Taking a local bus you can go straight to the place you want to visit and have enough time to do things you want to do and see, you can combine two attractions in one day for less than € 5.00
You can obtain one of the timetable folders of the busses at some hotels and in many snack bars.
Hope this is helpful.
