A nostalgic trip down memory lane was sparked in the social media group 'Memories of Gzira, Ta' Xbiex, Msida and Sliema' with a blissful 1970s throwback photo.

The image showcases an old green bus, Route 75, captured near the Manoel Island bridge in Gzira. This photo reminisces a bygone era, reminding residents of the bustling streets and vintage transportation that once graced the area.

The green buses were an iconic sight, taking passengers across the island with their distinctive charm.

For many, this photo triggers fond recollections of simpler times and cherished memories spent in Malta, particularly in the Sliema and Gzira areas.

As the community reflects on this snapshot of the past, it serves as a testament to the enduring spirit and character of the neighbourhood.

Do you remember the green old buses?
