The project has provided a greater access between Valletta’s Waterfront and the heart of the City through a vertical link, consequently encouraging a modal shift towards non-car modes when commuting to Valletta. This project sustains the projects already underway and encourage further public and private investment in the area. It also sustains ancillary systems such as the proposed shuttle bus service, electric taxis, rapid sea ferries, the new terminal and the ‘park and ride’ scheme. Therefore, it provides an integrated transport system to reduce the traffic congestion in and around Valletta.
