Throughout July Malta Public Transport will donate the full registration fee for the Child Tallinja Card to the Malta Trust Foundation, as part of the Empowering Children Campaign.

The campaign contributes to a project by the foundation raising funds for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to support children who are visually-impaired, on the autism spectrum or non-verbal.

MPT explained that the Child Tallinja Card is available for children between the ages of 4 and 10 and the one-time registration of €15 offers holders a reduced travel rate of 0.25c per journey capped at 0.50c daily and €2 weekly.

It added that,”besides nurturing a culture in favour of clean transport from a young age, the Tallinja Card entitles children to discounted fares on many different services, including the new fast ferry service between Malta and Gozo.”

Augmentative and Alternative Communication devices elevate the quality of life of children and their families by improving the speech of users and facilitates language development, enhancing their communication and literacy.

Malta Public Transport also announced that in September, all children who have a Tallinja Card will be eligible to participate in an exclusive treasure hunt for all the family with a chance to win a number of prizes including bicycles and scooters.

Organised by Malta Public Transport, the event will encourage the use of alternative modes of transport.
