Got a bit surprised today when I received a letter from CVA (Controlled Vehicle Access) to pay a fee of 2.46 for entering with my car in Valletta. The amount it's not a big deal but I didn't even know this kind of system existed. No sure if you all know, if not, you know now 
Paying a fee for entry into Valletta by car??!!

Hi, this system has been going on for years and before that, if you wanted to enter Valletta you had to pay extra on your road tax and then you would have a 'V' marked on it, allowing you to enter.
I guess, when something has been in place for years, it's not talked about much...Of course, the signs telling you that you are entering a CVA are, should have given you the hint

To be honest, didn't even realized there were any signs with regards to that. But there you, living and learning!

I see, thanks for the detailed information hicabsmalta. (y)
