Worth knowing
From Airport 2: Monday to Friday, every 20 minutes, 05:30–22:50, 35–51 minutes to the Valletta terminus. Saturday and Sunday, every 30 minutes, 05:30–22:30, 30–44 minutes. Nothing after 22:50 — take the TD4 instead, which runs to 00:50.
The fare changes with the calendar: EUR 2.50 now, EUR 2.00 in winter. The TD4 is EUR 3 all year.
Last bus 22:50 on weekdays and 22:30 at weekends, first 05:30. After it, the TD4 until 00:50; after that, the taxi.
Eight of you: one EUR 19 twelve-journey card, tapped eight times, beats eight EUR 2.50 tickets and leaves four journeys for the week. It is sold at the office and the machines, not by the driver.
Cash on board is exact change only, by the operator's conditions; a contactless bank card avoids the problem.
This is one of the four routes the operator named as the X4's replacement; the airport's own bus page does not list it, but its timetable starts at the airport.
