Malta, one of Europe\u2019s top island destinations, has gorgeous beaches, beautiful architecture and delicious seafood. But its public transport system is also catching attention.<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean island has one of Europe\u2019s best public transport systems, according to a recent report by Greenpeace. The team looked at the ease of getting a ticket and the cost among other important factors.<\/p>\n

Malta came just behind Luxembourg in the country rankings while capital city Valletta tied in first place. While Luxembourg\u2019s generous scheme offers free public transport to residents and tourists, Malta offers citizens free transport.<\/p>\n

Since October 2022, Malta\u2019s public transport system has been free to use for island residents. Residents have to have a registered and personalised Tallinja transport card to benefit.<\/p>\n

For tourists, a day ticket to use public transport in Malta costs two euros (\u00a31.74) and three euros (\u00a32.60) at night.<\/p>\n

While tourists do have to pay a small fee to use Malta\u2019s transport, the country\u2019s bus service is fairly reliable and goes to all the major tourist sites.<\/p>\n

Officials recently announced that the country is set to spend 20 million euros (\u00a317.3m) electrifying its public transport system, including 30 new zero emission buses.<\/p>\n

Since Malta made public transport free for residents, a record number of passengers have travelled on the service. In May 2023, 5.8 million passengers used public transport.<\/p>\n
