The predominant religion on the island of Malta is Catholicism, with signs of this in almost all parts of everyday life

One place where this can be seen especially is on the buses that make up the public transport system on the island

The aging fleet of vehicles have traditionally been customised by the drivers to show their following of the Catholic faith. Most buses contain pictures of religious icons and leaders from images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary to faded photographs of Pope John Paul the second. Hand painted messages on the buses range from the religious to the comical and lead each bus to hold it's own unique charm

In a world of increasing uniform banality in the area of public transport these buses offer a pleasing break from the norm. However as these vehicles continue to age and reach the end of their working life it is unfortunately just a matter of time before these icons of the island become a memory of the past
