along the coast-line. That could be fun!

what is a coastline submersed tunnel? where are they using this?

Do you mean Salina/Bugibba. ISTM that this is an area that
benefit than a line terminating in Mosta.

yes bugibba should be included with mosta

trains 4 short trains (3 cars) x 2 for both directions + 4 backup
trains


This is one train every 30-40 minutes?
Looking at the frequency of the buses, this isn't enough.

i was thinking more like 1 every 3 minutes, like the Tube. it must be
better than the bus frequency of 15-20min. current bus fare is .50 €

and stations 5 Km apart cannot replace a bus service.

why? the train will just driver faster between the stops.
Are you not going to serve the airport?

there is not much traffic to and from airport.its quite a small
airport.
