A video circulating online appears to show people scrambling to board what is suspected to be a Tallinja bus, with passengers pushing and squeezing their way onto the vehicle.The footage, which has been widely shared on social media, was reportedly filmed in St Paul’s Bay at around 6.36am, according to one person who shared the clip.Many speculated that this could not be in Malta, with many saying this could be filmed elsewhere. While others pointed out seeing a Tallinja card in one of the person’s hands.“The footage could have been taken from a bus operated by Malta Public Transport,” a spokesperson for Transport Malta told the newsroom.
