More incentives and flexibility are being introduced by Malta Public Transport in the remuneration package for its bus drivers, “designed to attract and retain seasoned professionals,” it said.

The company added that it is also offering “attractive benefits” to those who would like to embark on a career in bus driving, providing full training on the job.

Depending on experience, MPT said that bus drivers can earn between €22,000 and €27,000 annually, excluding overtime. This package includes various bonuses and allowances, such as a Sunday premium, a weekly allowance, a company bonus and a performance bonus.

The company said it also offers overtime opportunities through specific rosters for those who would like to further supplement their income.

Malta Public Transport went on to say that it “values the expertise of former bus drivers, and therefore their years of service with the company are being considered when determining their starting income. This initiative ensures that experienced professionals are recognised and compensated accordingly.”

The company said that “new recruits will enjoy a starting income of €22,000 per annum. This starting income is standard for all those joining the company with no bus driving experience. Individuals possessing a B licence but not a D licence are encouraged to apply since full training will be provided by the company.”

In addition to competitive salaries, all Malta Public Transport bus drivers have the same conditions and benefits, such as free health insurance. The company is dedicated to providing opportunities for career progression, further demonstrating its commitment to supporting the professional growth of its experienced workforce.

To further acknowledge the contributions of bus drivers, Malta Public Transport said that it hosts driver awards every three months, presenting vouchers as tokens of appreciation for those who deliver outstanding performance. Additionally, the company actively encourages driver participation in focus groups to ensure that their concerns and suggestions are prioritised and addressed.

Malta Public Transport added that it offers various other “perks,” these include family events, sports events, and other social activities.
