Malta offers motorists €25,000 to stop driving for five years

Malta's government is offering motorists €25,000 to give up driving.

Drivers must agree to stop driving for at least five years to receive the money.

The offer is a response to increasingly frequent traffic jams in Malta.

The government is using a financial incentive to encourage people to stop driving.

So far, the measure has not produced the hoped-for results.

The available information does not say how many motorists have taken up the offer.

No next steps are specified.
