Bus is good Gozo is dreadful

Don’t buy the fast ferry tickets from them, you’re given last priority for boarding. Buy Gozo tickets from ferry ticket office.

Service déplorable

J’ai commandé ma carte début septembre et 1 mois après toujours pas de carte malgré mes demandes sur Facebook et par mail. Le traitement des dossiers est vraiment foireux. Payer une carte pour ne jamais la recevoir c’est inadmissible.
J’espère avoir une réponse rapide parce ça ne va clairement pas le faire !

Bad, does not always update with current or correct busses

Prepare to waste a lot of time, miserable app, just like the public transport

True for beginners

I’ve been living in Malta for two weeks, and I’ve already realized that taking the bus is out of the question—it’s a total gamble whether the bus will actually show up, whether it will stop at all, or if it will already be packed full by the time it reaches the first few stops. If 10,000 people from third countries are being brought in every year, perhaps it’s worth investing in local infrastructure and ensuring the buses are actually suited to the volume of passengers? Just for the record, I’ve traveled from many different locations and towns here.
