You only need to be on the Mediterranean island nation of Malta for a few minutes before you notice one of their main tourist attractions: the public buses.  The buses of Malta are driver-owned and heavily customized, usually involving fine detail brushwork,the names of children or saints, or velvet interior.  I love the idea of variations on a theme, so I had to look at, point out, and photograph them all.

    Love the 3rd and 2nd last images. Look ace. I’d love to have one of those. They definitely look better than the ones in India that’s for sure. Although not as brightly painted and decorated and I bet you didn’t come across a bottle of Buckie in the back of one of those either. Always good.
