Accessible Public Transportation in Malta by LauraA Note on Bus Stops
While all buses in Malta are accessible, some bus stops are not very conducive to wheelchairs. In some cases, particularly for bus stops in the countryside, there can be a ledge between the sidewalk and road without a ramp nearby. Therefore, when you get on the bus, make sure to tell your driver where you need to get off. This way, he/she can stop the bus in an accessible location.
