My wife and I have just come back from our 10th vacation in Malta in the past three years but we feel that we have been ripped off for being tourists, all because of the new buses. In April this year a return from Sliema to Valletta would cost 94c and now it costs €2.50, but it only costs a Maltese person €1.50. If this is the way Malta is going to treat its tourists then I think it is going down a very slippery road. Just look at what happened to Greece and Spain and even neighbouring Italy. It would only take the tourists to stay away for one season and Malta would be in big trouble.
