The Malta Transport Authority (ADT) has received applications for the issue of permits for the operation of open top buses and trackless trains.

The Infrastructure Ministry is presently in the process of issuing new policies to govern the whole unscheduled public transport sector, which policies will cover coaches, including but not limited to open top, mini-vans, taxis, white, black and electric, as well as trackless trains.

All these different modes of unscheduled public transport impact each other as well as private and public scheduled transport and the relative regulation has to be seen holistically.

It is expected that this policy will be in place by the first quarter of 2009 and consequently the ministry has instructed the ADT not to process the said applications until the policy is in place.
