Public transport (also public transportation, public transit, or mass transit) comprises passenger transportation services which are available for use by the general public, as opposed to modes for private use such as automobiles or vehicles for hire. Public transport services are usually funded by fares charged to each passenger, with varying levels of subsidy from local or national tax revenue; fully-subsidised, zero-fare services operate in some towns and cities. Public transport can consist of subways, trolleys and light rail, commuter trains, buses, van pool services, paratransit services for senior citizens and people with disabilities, ferries, water taxis, or monorails.[1] Public transport is provided by a company or authority that operates a fleet of vehicles. They may or may not be regulated or subsidized by authorities. The infrastructure used may be exclusive, or shared with private vehicles.

17. Malta's historical buses to be phased out
October 22, 2009
Up to some months ago, it was still an on-going issue in Malta: should the old, chugging public transport charabancs of yesteryear be replaced with the new, slim-line buses purposely built for the Maltese road?
Well, the government has finally ruled: only one fourth of the present fleet of 508 buses meets the requirements stipulated by the reformed public transport system. The rest of the buses - which are considered by the Maltese as a nuisance and a health hazard – will be placed in a museum or recycled.
