Two new bus routes for San Gwann

A number of changes to the bus route network come into force on Sunday

Malta Public Transport today announced it will now be operating two new routes, bus number 25 and 35, in addition to existing routes 22 and 24.

Route 25 will be departing Valletta every hour and will also pass through Mater Dei hospital. The other new route will leave Valletta every 30 minutes and will pass through University and Mater Dei hospital.

We are happy to be implementing these changes and feel they will solve a number of concerns voiced by commuters," Malta Public Transport Commercial Director Daniel Grech said. He added that MPT officials will be present at the Valletta terminus to assist passengers while information leaflets will be sent to all San Gwann households.

Further route changes in other localities include Route 250 which will be starting its journey from Mellieha Bay (Ghadira) rather than from Cirkewwa. The route will terminate in Valletta.

Route X3 will pass through Psaila Street in Birkirkara instead of Valley Road increasing connectivity for residents in the area while Route 119 will be extended to the Delimara power plant and route Route 213 serving Mater Dei hospital will be extended to Rinella, Kalkara.
