Talk:Vehicle registration plates of Malta

Taxis
Some (possibly all) taxis in Malta seem to have plates beginning TAXIM and then 3 digits. Unless these are personalised plates, which I doubt, then these don't fit any of the criteria given in the article. Bazonka (talk) 14:53, 28 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen any in my time in Malta (4 years). Licensed taxi plates are invariably TAXI (number) M. or G for Gozo. Cars dedicated to unofficial car services have plates ending -LY. See my section below Chrismorey (talk) 17:11, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Special plates
Malta uses a large range of special letter combinations on number plates for different classes of vehicle. The list given in this document is very incomplete. Transport Malta's current list is:

https://www.transport.gov.mt/land/vehicles/registering-and-licensing-a-motor-vehicle/number-plates-808

Even this list does not show the ending -CY used for certain private buses and coaches (perhaps the C stands for Coach).

It might make more sense merely to explain that Malta uses a range of meaningful numbering series and provide a link, since clearly the list has undergone major changes since the article was last updated Chrismorey (talk) 17:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
