The photo shows a local bus stop – normal, right? But what is approaching isn’t your usual bus – but a mashup of a bus and a plane. The post reads, “Tal-Linja launches new service to avoid road works, jams and potholes.” And this seems to be the only way!

Hey, maybe some bright, young genius will read this and spark an idea to create something of the sort. We’d definitely use it!

Do you think this could actually work on the Maltese Islands?
