Malta Public Transport and Transport Malta have announced the introduction of free Wi-Fi for passengers.

During the pilot project phase, which will run for a period of three months, 50 buses will offer free Wi-Fi for all passengers.

"This investment is part of our strategy to continue improving the overall customer experience for our passengers" said Konrad Pulé, General Manager of Malta Public Transport. "More and more people are using our buses and we want to offer them the opportunity to keep connected for free during their bus journey."

The Free Tallinja Wi-Fi is available on a variety of buses during the first three months, on both 9-metre and 12-metre buses, including airport buses, spread in different locations so as to ensure that the service is tested across the island. This is a pilot project and the public is encouraged to provide any feedback on [email protected].

The system was designed and installed by HandsOn Systems who are responsible for the maintenance and support, while the data service is being supplied by GO.

Following the successful completion of this pilot, the aim is to have all buses in Malta and Gozo providing free Wi-Fi.
