The Tallinja App has many functions that will make your day-to-day journeys easier while combining all transport services offered by Malta Public Transport:

Real-time information: Locate your nearest bus stop on the map and check all available bus routes to your chosen destination. Real-time information can be accessed by tapping on your nearest bus stop.

Real-time bus tracking: Follow your bus in real-time while you are waiting at the bus stop. Once you tap on your nearest bus stop, choose “Show buses on the map in real-time” to locate on the map the bus you are waiting for.

My Cards: In this section, you can add, manage, and keep track of several payment methods. Additionally, you can connect your personalised Tallinja Card or Flex Card with the Tallinja App. This will enable you to view your transaction history, pay for any Tallinja On Demand bookings, and check for any new travel offers.

The Journey Planner: Plan your bus trips by choosing your departure location and your destination. The journey planner will suggest various bus routes for you to choose from.

On Demand: Tallinja On Demand is a public transport on-demand service. In this section, you can book a seat on one of our premium buses. Simply choose from which bus stop you would like to be picked up and from which bus stop you would like to be dropped off.

Favourites: Create your favourites list by clicking on the heart icon on the map view, including your most visited destinations or the bus stops or bus routes you use regularly.

Pretty good

This has potential… but it needs to be easier to set a starting point, for example. If I am in Sliema but want to find a bus from Birgu to Paola, how do I do that? And the intro pages say you can book a seat. How is that possible on regular buses? The map shows bus lines (one at a time) but don’t show the direction. Sometimes a bus stop for one direction is on another street from the opposite direction bus, how do I know which street to go to? This app is probably more useful for residents than tourists.

Unreliable and slow

The app doesn’t show the correct live data of the buses. It says a bus is coming in 5 minutes and then it doesn’t come at all or it’s there in 20 minutes. It would be way easier when it would show live tracking like bolt.

Poor design, hard to use

There’s really no alternative to using this official bus app on Malta, but it is a really badly designed app that makes it hard to use.

For example, it chews through battery life.

Its geolocation is usually wing, so the directions and recommendations are often nonsensical.

Journey pages don’t clearly present walking segments as such (a waking person icon would help), so new users can think it’s a bus segment but without the bus number

Showing the bus stop number would also be useful given several same-named stops and the app’s tendency to suggest one that is not where you are.

If you go back from the detailed directions. such as to look at other suggested routes, you have to start all over again. Your current itinerary is wiped out. Also, several of the line labels have white te t on light backgrounds, making it hard to read the line number. White on yellow, really? Some basic user experience skills are sorely needed by this developer.
