PN calls for immediate action on 300 and X300 routes for Gozitan commuters Update from Malta Public Transport below – The Nationalist Party has highlighted “the ongoing failures in the scheduled services of bus routes 300 and X300 that are causing serious disappointment and frustration, particularly among Gozitan students.”

In a statement, the PN stressed that this issue is not only impacting students but also workers who rely on public transport for their daily commutes.
