Public transport in Malta will be free from October onwards

May 5, 2023

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.
