Description
Buses of Malta by Tim Machin explores the history of Maltese buses from the mid-twentieth century to 2011. During this period, bus liveries underwent significant changes, with traditional designs giving way to uniform 'spray green' and later yellow/white schemes. The introduction of imported vehicles in the 1980s brought new models to Malta's roads, including AEC Swifts from London Transport and Bedford and Ford coaches with bodies by Plaxton and Duple. However, Maltese buses were often modified to suit local tastes, with modifications including different axles, engines, gearboxes, and rebuilt or replaced bodies. This book provides a detailed look at the evolution of Maltese buses over several decades, highlighting the unique blend of traditional and imported vehicles that defined Malta's public transportation system.
