A single ride is <strong>€2.50 in summer</strong> (15 June – 15 October) or <strong>€1.50 in winter</strong>, valid for 2 hours including transfers. If you&rsquo;re staying 4+ days, buy a <strong>Tallinja Explore Card</strong> (€21 for 7 days, unlimited rides) at the airport or Valletta terminus. Download the official <strong>Tallinja app</strong> for live tracking. <strong>Hail the bus</strong> like a taxi when you see it coming, or it&rsquo;ll drive past you. The 222 in summer is genuinely cursed — take a Bolt instead if you&rsquo;re going to Ċirkewwa.</div> </div> </div> <p>The Maltese bus network is the best transport bargain in the Mediterranean and one of the more confusing to use on Day 1. The fares change with the season, the cards have four different versions, the app is good but buried under a website that looks like 2014, and the buses themselves do not stop at stops unless you flag them down. Once you&rsquo;ve got the rhythm, it&rsquo;s brilliant. The first 24 hours are a learning curve.</p>
