Arriva will be running a special service between Valletta and Marsaxlokk on Wednesday for those who wish to take the first swim of the year during the traditional feast of San Girgor.
Route 81 will operate between Valletta and Marsaxlokk from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will run in addition to regular Route 8. Departing from Bay 1 at the Valletta terminus, special Route 81 will pass through Paola, Tarxien and Bir id-Deheb, without entering Żejtun, on its way to Marsaxlokk and will follow this same route back, departing from the terminus at the Marsaxlokk primary school.
