Temporary Bus Terminus Changes For Carnival In Valletta & Floriana
Festivals Malta, Transport Malta and Malta Public Transport have announced that a temporary change to the bus Terminus will come into effect for the days of Carnival in Valletta and Floriana, due to strong winds forecast in the coming days.
