Welcome To Malta Bus & Coach Profiles.

This site is dedicated to buses and coaches on the Maltese islands,
that sadly most of them will come to end when the proposed transport reform takes place in the coming year.

You can help to save the Malta Buses by signing the petition below:

http://www.petitiononline.com/savdbss/petition.html

You will see photos from every side, and interior of each bus wherever possible. Photos are from 2007 onwards.

Information sourced from:
Richard Steddall's Rummaging
Tom Johnson's Malta Bus Handbook
Stuart Harvey's Malta Bus Fleetbook 2009
Joseph Bonnici & Michael Cassar's The Malta Buses
Keith Till & Marco Zammit's Malta Buses Old & New fotopic site

I hope you will find this site of help and interest, especially bus enthusiasts and model makers.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me and I will help wherever possible.

Thanks for viewing.
