Maltese bus
The Maltese bus known as the ‘Xarabank’ or also the ‘karozza tal-linja’ was a unique type of bus that is found
no longer exists around the world. The Maltese bus was stemmed by Maltese drivers. Each bus had a unique appearance due the details and decoration each one have on it. The ‘tberfil’ many times is made on the buses to have a nicer look. It was also a tourist attraction and many of the tourists that come to Malta also used it as the main transport to visit places around the small island of Malta. The Maltese traditional bus had operated from 1920-2011. In my opinion this was a very good thing that distinguishes you from other countries in the world.

Characteristics of the Maltese bus

-Addition of chrome parts
- paint details of the ‘tberfil’ (patterns, and also words with different font.)
-Names and nick names and also names of village feasts
-quotations and detailing.

Today the Maltese bus is only used for special occasions like for the graduation students, as school buses and other important events.








I compared the Maltese bus to the Thailand bus. This is because it has the same colors. The shape is also like the Maltese bus in design. It is also used as a transport for people.
