46 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 23 OCTOBER 2016 Bus services switch to winter schedule AS of last Sunday 16 October 2016 cash tickets on the buses were reduced from €2.00 to €1.50. This is in line with the annual change in fares as regu- lated by the Government. The reduction in the fare could fur- ther encourage the use of public transport thus helping to allevi- ate the congestion on our roads. Furthermore, the bus service is now operating according to the winter schedule. The fares on all tallinja cards will not be af- fected. Route X1A has been intro- duced again this winter to serve Ċirkew wa, Mater Dei, University and MCAST in Paola, between Monday and Friday. An addi- tional route 30, serving Bombi, Kulleġġ, University and Mater Dei Hospital has also been in- troduced. These routes have been introduced in particular to help students who are travelling to the University, to the Junior College and to MCAST campus in Paola. Furthermore, hold- ers of a student card may avail themselves of the Student Pass with which student card holders may travel for 90 days for €55 thus benefitting from further savings of €8.00. The new schedules are avail- able online on publictransport. com.mt. Due to these changes the 'Journey Planner' on the website and on the tallinja app are temporarily unavailable un- til the updates are in place. Dur- ing these few days, Malta Public Transport is also updating all timetables on every bus stop in Malta and Gozo.

Liquigas introduces new seals on its gas cylinders LIQUIGAS Malta has introduced new heat shrink seals on all its green and yellow gas cylinders as from October 2016. It is part of Liquigas's ongoing commitment to ensure safety, quality and best service to its customers in Malta and Gozo. During the month of October, gas distributors will have cyl- inders with either new and old seals available, but as from 1st November 2016, all Liquigas cyl- inders will carry the new light green shrink-wrapped seal with the words "Liquigas". This new seal indicates that the cylinder was filled at Liquigas's mod- ern facility in Bengħajsa and therefore carry the guarantee of quality and that it was properly filled according to requirements. These new seals also offer a sim- pler and more convenient system for consumers to take off the seal before use. "With this new Liquigas seal, our customers will now have peace of mind that the cylin- ders have been filled according to the international standards adopted by Liquigas. Customers are urged to check that the seal is intact and not tampered with in order to ensure that they are receiving a cylinder that is prop- erly filled with good quality of gas. The seals also carry a serial number for identification and traceability. These seals will also differentiate Liquigas green and yellow cylinders from other sup- pliers and offer a better product. "The company has also upload- ed photos showing the new heat shrinked seal on both yellow and green Liquigas cylinders. Cus- tomers can view these photos at ht tp://liquigasma lta.com/new- cylinder-seals/," explained Liq- uigas Malta Chief Executive Of- ficer Roberto Capelluto.
