I’ve left it till all the rhetoric has been said regarding the new Tallinja cards. I would like to congratulate both Malta Public Transport and the government on this initiative, it’s been long awaited.

This new system allows people to board a bus with no problem and even without waiting as before.

I suspect there is a further piece of equipment to be given to the bus inspectors in order to validate the cards when used. I believe it will be a hand-held system that can be used easily in order to avoid anyone boarding without swiping their card.

Once more, as an expat who has been living in Malta now for over 16 years, I have watched various attempts being made to make life simpler. At last they have done it. Well done to all.
