There are various transportation methods around the island, both private and public transportation. The proximity of the ITS campus to the airport means that there is a public transport hub 10 minutes on foot from the institute. One can travel by public transport, by purchasing a Tal-Linja card. The prices for the card can be found on the MPT website. One can view the schedule and routes for Maltese public transport buses on the Malta public transport website.
One can also download the tal-linja app on his or her mobile device. This application gives real time information on the services offered by the Malta Public transport.
Public transportation is not only limited to land as there are also ferries that can shuttle the visitor from Valletta to Sliema, as one can see from their schedule it varies according to the time of the year. Ferries can also take one to the Malta’s sister Island, Gozo. The schedule for the various trips can be found by clicking here.
