A direct route between Ċirkewwa and the University of Malta has just been relaunched, after being discontinued two years ago, meaning better connectivity for Gozitan students.

This permanent route will significantly improve the service for Gozitan University students travelling to the main campus.

Arising from extensive discussions with the Gozitan University Group, it was clear that there was a strong need to address the transportation issues the students face.

The route will utilise the Mellieħa and St Paul’s Bay bypass, with only two stops along the way to ensure the fastest service possible.

With the government’s annual investment of €210,000, the new express route will allow students to have shorter travel times, greater accessibility and more convenience.

Minister Aaron Farrugia explained how through the use of this route, a significant amount of cars will be removed from the road, “People are expecting practical alternatives for them to make use of instead of their personal car. This X300 route offers exactly this as it will be reducing a number of extra stops for Gozitan university students.”

“As a government, we are investing in order to offer the direct X300 service from Ċirkewwa to University and back. We believe that we should facilitate the transportation of Gozitan students who choose to continue their studies in Malta. Students have always been and still are a priority to this Government.”
