Malta's public transport network is enhancing its services for the summer season, with both bus and ferry operators introducing extended schedules and increased frequencies. These changes aim to accommodate the expected rise in demand from residents and tourists during the warmer months.

Malta Public Transport, operating as Tallinja, has confirmed a series of route adjustments and more frequent services. These improvements are specifically targeting popular beach and coastal destinations across the islands.

The implementation of these bus service changes will occur in two phases. The initial phase is set to commence tomorrow, June 13th, followed by additional adjustments scheduled for July 5th.

In parallel, the Valletta ferry services, connecting the capital with Sliema and Cospicua, have also launched their summer timetable. This includes extended operating hours to provide more flexibility for commuters and visitors.

According to the new schedule, the first ferry departure from Sliema will be at 6:45 am. Services from Cospicua will begin slightly earlier, with the first ferry setting off at 6:30 am, ensuring early morning connectivity for passengers.
