Online Timetables

ATP website  www.atp.com.mt ATP website
In Malta there is no such thing as a definitive comprehensive timetable. However the ATP website does a pretty good job - this is the Public Transport Association (Assocjazzjoni Trasport Pubbliku) which operates the services on behalf of the Government, and which consists of the numerous bus owners (mostly owner drivers). New services tend to get put on the website fairly quickly these days, but timetables for some of the long established services are unfortunately out of date, and there is no way of telling which is which.

ROUTE NEWS
Summer timetables were introduced from Monday March 31st 2008 on routes 48, 70, 645 and 652.

ADT website  www.maltatransport.com ADT website
The ADT is Malta's transport authority dealing with such matters as highways, licensing and public transport. Its website occasionally announces changes to bus routes and temporary diversions due to roadworks. Certain timetables dating from Winter 2005/6 were shown until May 2008 but these have now been replaced by a link to the ATP website (nevertheless, they have not been deleted and can be found here).

Gozo website  www.gozo.gov.mt Gozo website
The link above is to the Gozo Government website, where timetables will be found on a village by village basis. However, a special feature of this Malta by Bus website are specially prepared Gozo timetables shown by route.

Open Top Bus Tours  www.maltasightseeing.com Open Top Tours
The popular South and North Tours run hourly 09.00 - 15.00 from Sliema (10.00 to 13.00 on Sundays), operated by Cancu Supreme. I have prepared a detailed FACTSHEET about the open top tours, including timetables and fares (in pdf format).

Printed Timetables

ATP leaflet

Malta Bus Routes 2008 leaflet
The 2008 timetable leaflet is readily available (as at April 2008) on board buses and from enquiry kiosks. It provides a summary of the routes with basic information on frequencies, and now of course has fares in euros. The 2008 leaflet can also be downloaded from the ATP website in pdf format. It is nearly 6Mb so go and make a cup of tea. I have also saved the 2007 leaflet which is only 500kb.

Gozo Timetable leaflet
The detailed colour folder is apparently no longer produced by the ADT, but a simple A5 sheet listing the departures on each route can be obtained from the kiosk at Victoria Bus Station or from the nearby Tourist Information Office. Detailed timetables are on display on the front of the bus station kiosk.

News Websites
