Malta Buses

The Malta bus is one of the most followed buses by enthusiasts through postcards, photos or videos. They are a breed of their own with their particular character which the Maltese drivers tend to lovingly give with decorations and personalised touches.

The new generation, that was born after the 60s, might not remember the colourful range of buses every Maltese village boasted of. You can spot your bus from far away through its colours. Nowadays they are all in one colour and you notice your bus by the number on the windshield when it is close to you - a rather nuisance to seniour citizens that had used to spot them from afar.

Here are some memory joggers of the times when buses were colourful.

Are you cynical?

How easy it is to be cynical! We misjudge situations easily on what we see or think we know. We do think that we are right and feel secure in our little world of measurements, rules and regulations according to our perception of how things should or should not be.

Check out this link. It should be one good example for a wake up call to anyone who is so limited in what to tolerate or not.

At our age being cynical only hurts ourselves and will get the same treatment as we do unto others. Enough said.
