This Insta account documenting relatable experiences on Malta’s Tallinja is hilarious!
Recently we came across a hilarious Instagram meme about a #relatable tallinja experience, and after a few snoopy clicks, we found the source of this greatness. Instagram account @tallinja_journals posts hilarious memes of tallinja travels, and honestly we were in fits after stumbling upon them. Check out our favourites below!
1. Full up, xbin!
Ah yes, the ‘full up’ scenario. The bus would still be on the second stop of the route and is already full up. Pro tip: if you’re close to the start of the route, emmini xbin, it’s better to head there than to wait for yet another bus. #YoureWelcome
2. Rain + Msida = Disaster
If you’ve lived on this island long enough, you’d know that Msida is basically a flood zone when the gates of heaven decide to pour endless rain. The bus attempts to part what is a sea of rain when this happens and you can imagine how that turns out.
3. Alarm clock vs Tallija
Waking up early to catch the bus? Hell nah. Waking up late on purpose and blaming it on Tallinja. Ovja. It’s something every tired local has done. If you’re lucky, you’d catch the bus, but then morning traffic hits and there’s nothing that poor bus can do. #Screwed
4. Missing the bus by a smidge
You’re running up your road, the app is saying the bus is two minutes away. You almost make it, but there it goes, whizzing by while you pant to get your breath back. So close. So close.
5. Sudden brakes
Gotta love a little sudden brake to make that inertia kick in. Whether it’s flooring it or hitting them brakes, sudden pedal movements are scary AF. So, hold on tight, folks!
6. Wrong turning…
Every person who has ridden the night bus knows this sitch all too well. It’s 3am and the driver takes a wrong turning. Madonna no. I’m in danger. Jesus take the WHEEL and steer him back on the right path.
