Where can a tourist to Malta ride an articulated bus?

I was thinking a short break to Valletta might be enhanced by taking one of the 'bendy buses' that used to serve London.

Is it possible to ride one of these? Or alternatively, are there any bus routes in London that are still served by bendy buses? If not, then where would I have to go to ride one?

Best Answer

There are no more bendy buses on Malta's roads, but they have NOT been exported to Sudan in the end... They are, in fact, rotting in a yard in San Gwann (next to the road to Naxxar). If you want to "experience" a bendy bus, you could come to Innsbruck, Austria. Here they are something totally normal :)
