Malta's iconic yellow buses are an unmistakable symbol of the island nation, ferrying residents and tourists across Valletta and beyond since the mid-twentieth century. These sturdy minibuses, instantly recognizable by their bold canary-yellow livery and ornate hand-painted designs, represent a cherished piece of Maltese cultural heritage and remain one of the most photographed vehicles in the Mediterranean—beloved as much for their reliability as for their vibrant, unapologetic color that seems to distill Mediterranean sunshine itself.
