VINTAGE BUSES By bus Review

The buses in Malta are fast and efficient once you get on one. Buses leave for different towns from different bus stops at the bus station at the triton fountain. People queue for the buses then when the bus comes, everybody piles on from all directions.
The fares are cheap. Most journeys are .47 euros.
There are two information offices at the triton bus station.
Bus timetables are also available in most hotels.
