We are the national bus operator responsible to operate all public transport services by bus on the Maltese islands. We form part of an international network of transport companies present in four continents with over 40,000 employees. With over 120 years of experience in efficient management of urban transport as well as regional, national and international bus, coach and rail transport, our philosophy is to maximise on this international experience and adapt it to the local context wherever we operate, including Malta.
As the national bus operator, we cover 30 million kilometres every year with our fleet of 406 buses and a team of over 1,300 people. In the past year it is estimated that we carried around 40 million passengers, a significant increase when compared to previous years. Notwithstanding all of this, we are very well aware of the challenges we face and we are committed to improve the overall bus user experience and to provide a safe, credible and efficient bus service in Malta and Gozo.
We started our operation in Malta in 2015. Since then, we have invested extensively in modernising our bus fleet making it safer, more environmentally friendly, and more comfortable. In 2015, we invested in 143 new buses with the latest Euro 6 diesel technology, and this investment has been extended throughout 2016 with an additional 33 new buses. This is a clear sign of our commitment to improve our bus users’ experience, having one of the most modern bus fleets in Europe.
