Malta Public Transport announces extended services for final night of Fireworks Festival

Malta Public Transport will be operating extended late-night services on the final night of the Malta International Fireworks Festival, scheduled for Thursday 30th April, ensuring spectators can return home safely and comfortably after the event.

Additional departures will be scheduled well into the early hours, with certain routes operating until around 2.10am, including services linking Valletta with Sliema, St Julian’s, Birkirkara and Mosta. Further late-night connections will also serve northern areas including Mellieħa, together with southern localities such as Marsaskala, Żejtun and Żurrieq, providing broad coverage across the island during peak post-event travel times.

Malta Public Transport also reminds passengers that its night network is designed as a convenient option for late-evening travel throughout the year, offering a reliable alternative to private transport. The night bus network has recently been expanded with additional routes and increased frequency on existing services. Night routes, identified by an “N”, already link key nightlife and urban hubs such as Valletta, Sliema, St Julian’s and Buġibba with a wide range of residential localities. These include Birkirkara, Mosta, Qormi, Żebbuġ, Żejtun, Marsaskala, Mellieħa and Ħamrun.

All holders of a personalised Tallinja Card may travel free of charge on regular and special services. Passengers without a valid card may purchase a ticket on board, at the cost of €2 for the regular day journeys, or €3 for night and special services. Both cash and contactless payment methods are accepted.
