One of the island's specialities is rabbit (fenek), and small savoury pastries known as pastizzi are also ubiquitous. The Maltese celebratory meal is fenkata, a feast of rabbit, marinated overnight in wine and bay leaves.

Malta Bus

The Trams [Streetcars] in Malta were introduced in 1905. The Tram was composed of two floors, the lower and the upper Deck.  On the first floor stood the operator or driver, and ten reversible wooden seats for 20 passengers.  The Tram had no doors or windows.  The upper Deck accommodates 18 sitting passengers.  Standing passengers were not allowed on the upper deck.  

During this period Malta's infrastructure was not adequate and therefore transport between village was accommodated on train railway.  I don’t think anyone really remembers the trains in Malta or in matter of fact about their history, because there is no longer a Railway in Malta since 1931 unless you’re born before 1925 or you’re close to 80 years old. 

It is worth mentioning that Malta is one of the few countries that do not have train transport.  Eventually, it was due to the popularity gained for bus transport that train transport was no longer sustainable.  Thus, on 31st March 1931, the train performed the last services from Rabat to Valletta.

Before the advent of motorised transport, the karozzin used to be the most common means of land transport. It has now become an aspect of Malta's cultural heritage and is used by tourists for leisure rides.
