List of bus routes in Malta
Various bus routes have been operated in Malta since the early 20th century. The system has evolved significantly over the years, with changes in routes, services, and operational management to meet the varying needs of passengers.
The bus network in Malta serves as the primary form of public transport, operating on the islands of Malta and Gozo. Managed by Malta Public Transport (MPT), the system includes over 110 routes that connect major towns, villages, tourist attractions, and key infrastructure such as Malta International Airport and ferry terminals.
No routes operate on Comino or on any other of the minor islands of Malta.
Impact on transportation
The public bus system in Malta, commonly known as tal-linja (stylized as tallinja), serves all majorly inhabited areas across the country and is the primary mode of public transportation. Passengers can access the bus service using either a Tallinja card or paper tickets.
Since 1 October 2022, travel on public buses, including night services and special routes, is free for Tallinja card holders. However, this exemption does not apply to Tallinja Direct, Airport Direct, and Tallinja on Demand services. The introduction of the free travel initiative has led to a significant increase in bus ridership, with over 67.3 million and 75.8 million bus trips recorded in 2023 and 2024 respectively.[1]
All scheduled public transport routes are operated by Malta Public Transport. This excludes sightseeing buses and vintage/heritage buses, which are independently operated and separate from the national bus network.
Malta Public Transport routes (2015–current)
The operations of Malta Public Transport were taken over by Autobuses Urbanos de León (a subsidiary of ALSA) in January 2015. The pattern of routes was substantially changed when the new network took effect.[2][3] As of August 2025, there are around 500 diesel-run buses servicing these routes, as well as 32 electric buses as of 2024.[4] Frequencies are typically every 10–30 minutes during peak hours on week days, and longer on weekends and public holidays, when fewer buses are operated.
The bus fleet comprises modern low-emission vehicles, many of which are air-conditioned and wheelchair-accessible. MPT has continued efforts to reduce environmental impact, with investments in hybrid and electric buses. The main bus terminals are located in Valletta, Mater Dei Hospital, the airport, and Victoria.
Despite improvements, the bus system has faced criticism related to reliability, overcrowding during peak tourist seasons, and insufficient coverage in rural areas. Efforts are ongoing to improve punctuality, expand coverage, and enhance digital tracking through apps and live information displays.

Nighttime routes
Night bus services in Malta are operated by MPT and provide late-night public transportation across key urban and tourist areas. Initially introduced to cater to nightlife hotspots and workers with overnight shifts, these routes are especially popular among locals and tourists in areas such as Valletta, St Julian's, Sliema, and Buġibba.
Night routes are typically denoted with an "N" prefix (e.g. N11, N212, etc.). Services usually run from around 11:00 PM until 3:30 AM, depending on the route and demand. These buses offer a limited-stop service and follow slightly modified versions of their daytime counterparts to ensure faster journey times and improved coverage during off-peak hours.
As of early 2025, the night bus network includes several routes connecting major nightlife zones with residential areas and key transport interchanges.[9]

Airport routes
Airport bus routes in Malta are operated by Malta Public Transport and connect Malta International Airport with various localities across the island. Following the 2015 takeover by Autobuses Urbanos de León, a subsidiary of ALSA, dedicated airport services were restructured and branded as "X" routes (e.g. X1, X2, X3, X4), offering limited-stop connections to major hubs including Valletta, Sliema, St Julian's, and Gozo via the Ċirkewwa ferry terminal.[10] In April 2025, most of the X routes were discontinued or rebranded, and the newly introduced TD (Tallinja Direct) routes now facilitate connections to the airport instead. A number of the regular routes (particularly those going towards the southern part of the island) also stop at or near the airport. All airport routes operate seven days a week, with increased frequency during peak hours and the summer season to accommodate higher passenger volumes.
The following routes currently serve Malta International Airport: X1A, TD1, TD2, TD3, TD4, 71, 72, 73, 117, 119, 135, 201, 208, 214, 218.[11]
Airport Direct routes
In October 2024, Malta Public Transport acquired 25 King Long interurban buses that were formerly used by Cyprus Public Transport[12] and entered service in December 2024 for Airport Direct Routes on Routes TD2 and TD3. On 24 February 2025, Malta Public Transport added two new Airport Direct routes to its schedule, TD1 and TD4.[13] TD2 and TD3 were formerly summer-only routes before demand became too high to have them only run in the summer. A new route TD5 was introduced on 27 July 2025, particularly in response to higher-than-expected demand on route TD1.
| Route number | From | Via | To | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TD1 | Ċirkewwa | Mellieħa, Buġibba, Rabat, Żebbuġ | Airport | A limited-stop service from Ċirkewwa to the airport, stopping in Mellieħa, Buġibba/Qawra, Rabat, and Żebbuġ. |
| TD2 | Airport | St Julian's, Pembroke | This circular route travels non-stop from the airport to St Julian's, making the return journey via Pembroke and Paceville. | |
| TD3 | Sliema, Gżira | This circular route travels non-stop from the airport to St Julian's, making the return journey via Sliema and Gżira. | ||
| TD4 | Valletta | Valletta (Lascaris) | This route starts from the Valletta bus terminus and visits Valletta Lascaris (connection with the Gozo Fast Ferry) before proceeding directly to the airport. | |
| TD5 | Buġibba | Rabat, Żebbuġ | A limited-stop service from Buġibba to the airport, stopping at Qawra, Rabat, and Żebbuġ. This is equivalent to the latter segment of route TD1. |
Other Tallinja Direct routes
| Route number | From | Via | To | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TD10 | Valletta | Marsaxlokk Sea Front | Marsaxlokk | No stops between Valletta and Marsaxlokk, a few stops along the Marsaxlokk sea front. Return journey via Qajjenza/western side of Marsaxlokk. Sundays only. |
| TD13 | Bombi, Msida Sea Front, St Julian's, Pembroke (P&R), Naxxar (Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, Salina), Buġibba, Qawra | Buġibba | Less stops compared to the regular Route 13, and terminates at the Buġibba Bus Terminal instead of at Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq. |
Tallinja On Demand
The Tallinja On Demand service[14] uses minivans and acts as an on-demand service which can be booked via the official Malta Public Transport mobile application. Users can request a pick-up and drop-off at designated bus stops. It was introduced as TD Plus in 2019[15] and later renamed sometime in 2022.[16] Initially, the service was available in the north eastern area of Malta (including St Julian's, Sliema, Gżira, Swieqi, San Ġwann, Valletta, and part of Birkirkara) and this was later extended to include Mrieħel as well. However, in February 2025, it was announced that the service will be limited to only the St Julian's and Sliema areas and will be available only on Friday and Saturday nights.[17]
Special services
Special (one-off) services are often organised by Malta Public Transport following major events such as festivals and concerts. The exact routes and times are often announced a few days before the event, and depend on the event itself and user demand, but the routes are generally similar to the regularly-serviced routes, or multiple bus routes would be grouped into one longer route. Additionally, extra trips of the 'usual' bus routes are regularly organised. Examples of routes organised include as follows:
Routes departing from Valletta
These are organised following major events/concerts in Valletta or nearby Floriana.[18][19] The list below is indicative, since routes are announced depending on demand for the specific event. Usually, additional services on the regularly-serviced bus routes are also organised.

Historical routes
Pre-Arriva routes
These routes operated prior to the introduction of the Arriva network on 3 July 2011 and are therefore no longer current.[25]
In 2005, the Halcrow Group had been commissioned to assess the Malta bus system. Released in November 2005,[26] the report criticised the existing bus service and routes, which had produced a very low utilization of buses. In fact, a decline of 50% in the number of bus passengers was registered between 1979 and 2009.[27]
