The boarding time on buses can now be reduced through a new type of ticket.

The fare is validated when the new “carnet” ticket is used instead of when purchased, so that tickets can be bought well in advance and make boarding easier.

The reduction of boarding time – especially in summer – was one of the issues discussed between public transport Arriva and the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association in talks which started last week.

The carnet tickets will be sold from a number of outlets, including the front desks of many hotels, at lotto booths and Arriva’s ticket booths in Valletta, Buġibba and Malta International Airport.
