Worth knowing

From Airport 1: every 30 minutes, 05:20–00:50, every day. Valletta bay B1 is 11–16 minutes later on weekdays, 12–17 at weekends; Lascaris two minutes after that. The last bus reaches the terminus at 01:02 (01:05 at weekends).

A personalised tallinja card, free on the rest of the network, pays EUR 1.50 here; the twelve-journey card costs two journeys (EUR 3.17). Otherwise pay cash or tap a bank card, unless you have a 4- or 7-day Explore Flex.

Every 30 minutes, not "frequent": land at 10:22 and the next bus is 10:50. The 88 from the Airport 2 stop leaves every 20 minutes on weekdays if the timing is better, for 50 cents less and half an hour more.

Last bus 00:50, first 05:20, every night. Between them nothing public leaves the airport; the taxi ticket is EUR 17.

It is a loop: Airport, Valletta terminus, Lascaris, Floriana, Airport. Get off at the terminus for the city; stay on one stop for the Gozo fast ferry at Lascaris Wharf.

The operator's Welcomers' Hall office is open to midnight by its own page and to 19:30 by the airport's; the machines are 24 hours, and the driver sells the ticket anyway.
