Almost 1.8 million passengers travelled between Malta and Gozo in Q2 2024

Electric vehicles will also be distributed to the canine section

'Leave taxi stands to us,' says Malcolm Ciantar

The measure will enforce legislation enacted last year

There is an exodus of local workers from the industry

The industry is increasingly being geared towards large operators - to the detriment of small ones

Malta has been subject to strong winds over the past few days

Buses became free for residents in late 2022, leading to a hefty increase in the public subsidy

This comes as a result of strong winds and a swell in the harbour

Many heading to work during rush hour this morning were faced with heavy traffic congestion

Government had announced plans to make this service free last January

Minister Chris Bonett stated that e-kick scooters remain part of mobility mix as as alternative and sustainable means of transport

Minister Aaron Farrugia reassured that Malta will remain ‘steadfast in its policy to consolidate the quality mark in the industry'

The aim of the ban is to ‘promote responsible scooter usage and reduce community inconveniences’
