I’m a Gozitan working in Malta and I recently purchased an ATV (quad bike) in an attempt to reduce my travelling costs to and from work.
When I purchased the ATV, the fare for the ferry was equivalent to that of a motor bike (€4.65) but, last week, I was charged the same as a car (€8.15). When I asked why I was told that ATVs are now classified as cars on the ferry and so are charged the same fare.
My ATV is about a quarter of the weight and size of the average car, so why am I paying the same fare?
