I refer to the letter ‘Unfair pricing’ (The Sunday Times of Malta, July 12). Malta Public Transport clarified that all the fares, tickets and cards that came into effect as of July 1 are available to anyone irrespective of their place of residence or nationality.

Anyone, including tourists, can apply for their personalised tallinja card online and have their card delivered to an address outside Malta too. Our objective is to reduce the sale of tickets from on board the bus as much as possible – hence the lower fares when using any of our cards. This will reduce the time it takes for passengers to board the bus.

Malta Public Transport has other cards that can be bought over the counter and used immediately.

These cards offer better prices than the price on board the bus. More information is available online at tallinja.com, at one of our ticket booths or by calling 2122 2000.
