New bus route X300

New bus route for Gozitan commuters

Malta Public Transport launched a new direct route from Ċirkewwa to Valletta via Msida. Route X300 will start operating as from Thursday October 1 and will coincide with ferry schedules to offer Gozitan students and commuters the most convenient and economic daily connection to University, the Junior College, and Valletta.

There will be five morning journeys and five afternoon journeys from Monday to Friday, excluding Public Holidays. Route X300 makes stops at the Msida Skate Park and Msida Kulleġġ before its final destination at the Valletta terminus.

 The morning trips depart shortly after the arrival of the ferry crossing from Gozo:

• 06:35
• 07:05
• 07:35
• 08:05
• 08:50

The afternoon trips leave Valletta on the reverse route in time to catch the evening ferry crossings from Ċirkewwa:

• 15:00
• 15:45
• 16:15
• 16:45
• 17:15

Fares for students and Gozo Tallinja Card holders are €0.75 per journey while all other Tallinja Card holders will be charged €2.50 per trip. Passengers using a 12 Day Journey Card will have two journeys deducted from their credit, equivalent to €2.50. On-bus tickets using cash or contactless cards are also available for €3.00 per journey. Those using the ExplorePlus Meep card will not be charged. This service is not applicable to the Explore Adult Card, Explore Child Card and Valletta Card.

The new X300 route is being introduced after consultation with the Gozo University Group (GUG) and the Association of Gozitan Employees in Malta (AGEM).
