Malta's classic buses

A chrome-grilled classic on route 810 to Dingli, photographed in Floriana in March 2009. For decades Malta's buses were owner-driven, locally rebodied veterans, many on old British chassis, and the final livery was yellow with an orange stripe. Drivers decorated their cabs with saints and slogans. The traditional fleet left regular service when Arriva took over the network on 3 July 2011, and a few survive on heritage tours.
