Valletta gets its own clean taxi service A transport system for Valletta, using bubble-like electric cabs for three passengers, is scheduled to start on June 27, adding a greener dimension to the capital city by reducing air and noise pollution. The CT Cab system, launched by CT Park Ltd, will initially consist of 10 battery-powered chauffeur-driven cabs, transporting passengers from 10 points in Valletta to any destination within the city. Valletta's grid-like streets have been divided into two zones for the purpose of the innovative transport system that exists in only two other European cities. Zone A covers the city centre, which incorporates City Gate, Old Bakery Street, St Christopher Street up to Merchants Street and Castille Place, with a one-way trip costing 45c (€1 from January 1) for the first passenger and 10c for additional ones. Zone B, the peripheral zone, covering the rest of the area within Valletta, costs 90c (€2) for the first passenger, and 20c for any others.
