The Maltese Bus.
Traditionally the Maltese bus started out as a public transport back in the day, but a few years ago this famous bus that had carried out a lot of unique Maltese history it was replaced by the Arriva that is now used for the same purpose as a public transport for citizens. The Maltese traditional bus was a very attracting bus not only cause of the eye catching design but also the type that in written on these buses usually using an inspiring quote for the owner of the bus.
Unfortunately Malta in my opinion has lost one of the best tourist attraction and also I am gutted because of the loss of the unique history that was lost with it, Local Maltese owners of this traditional bus were also hit drastically by this decision as cruising the Maltese island from their daily routes to transport people from one place to the other was their job. On the other hand now after using the Arriva for up to 4 years Malta has stood up to keep our rich traditions alive, At least we can see our traditional buses featured as show cases or even also they are being used as wedding transport. This Maltese bus was used up to 90 years this traditional bus started cruising our beautiful island at the year of 1920,
This is one of Malta’s first bus which as you
can see is very different then the usual image that comes to mind when
mentioning the Maltese traditional bus, this bus had less capacity of carrying
people and also has a very beautiful traditional design to this public
transport, this is still used today as a tourist attraction. In the 1970’s bus operation were centralised because of the
damage was done by these busses to our air with fuel. After this traditional
Maltese bus the Maltese government had made a decision to design and produce to
the public a very different style of the Maltese bus this was called the visit
Malta bus 
This was the bus all of us knew well ‘The
shining chrome bus’.

Our Maltese bus is part of our rich culture and will hope to see it integrate more in our lifestyle to keep the tradition alive and also to show off our very luxurious culture for such a small island.
