busses are being caught in rush hour traffic. often one dreams of
having a small urban railway like those in mainland europe.

how difficult would it be to implement a railway/subway into an
existing built up island city like malta?
the area involved is roughly the size of London.

But with a population of about 400,000. I was amazed to learn that the
population of Valletta is only 7000. Presumably that's only the central
part of the city. What's the population of "Greater Valletta", i.e.
Valletta and suburbs?
