The company Arriva, which won the tender for 10 years of service in the bus fleet of Malta, decided to abandon the usual old-fashioned buses, which once formed the style of the Maltese fleet. Old buses will be gradually written off, and some of them will be transferred to museums and private collections. Since July 3, they will be replaced by brand new 172 King Long, which are already undergoing road tests.
All the new buses have air conditioning, as well as comfortable seats and information displays that will show the next stop of the route in real time.
Other innovations of the company Arriva: the ability to purchase travel tickets for a week and a month; auxiliary online services (buying tickets online, tracking all routes in real time, a service for planning routes on the island). The route network will be improved and optimized, and the traffic schedule will be extended.
At the moment, 49 9-meter and 125 12-meter buses have already been delivered to Malta. In total, the Maltese bus fleet will have 264 new buses.
