Free public transport in Malta? From October all Maltese residents and citizens will have the benefit of access to public transport without having to pay a single cent.
The measure, long awaited by the workers and users of the bus system (Tallinja), will come into force to reduce the use of private cars and traffic on the island's roads.
Currently, residents with a Malta Transport Card have access to the service at preferential rates: €0.75 each way and €2.50 for night buses.
Residents who wish to access the free public transport service in Malta must have a tallinja transport card.
Will public transport in Malta be free for students as well?
Yes, in fact, transport in Malta is already free for students. The Maltese government has been subsidising this service for several months.

What happens if I am a resident but do not have or have forgotten my card?
You will have to bear the cost per journey: €1.50 in winter, €2.00 in summer and €3.00 for night buses.
