The 4th Edition of the ‘B’Tal-Linja ghall-Istrina’ initiative will take place this Saturday, the 14th of December.
President George Vella made the announcement today, explaining that the fares collected from the first trip by bus passenger on all routes will be donated to the Malta Commuity Chest Fund Foundation through the L-Istrina campaign.
It will include all the first bus trips that are paid with the personalised Tallinja Cards as well as half the fares collected from cash tickets on this day, which will also be donated.
Malta Public Transport General Manager Konrad Pulé said, “by using the bus on Saturday, passengers will not only be reducing congestion and emissions on our roads, but they will also be contributing to such a worthy cause because part of the fare that they pay will go directly towards L-Istrina.”
President George Vella thanked Malta Public Transport Directors for organising this event and for the effort being made to support L-Istrina campaign and ultimately the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation (MCCFF).
Malta Public Transport said that passenger fees will not be affected, and the regular fares will apply: Child & Concession Tallinja Cards at €0.25c per trip; Adult, Student and Gozo Tallinja Cards at €0.75c per trip; and cash tickets at €1.50 per trip.
