Yes. And yet, due to better infrastructure and management, it feels less crowded.
That's not to say the UK has particularly good infrastructure or governance - more a reflection on how utterly tits up things are in Malta.

Agreed. There is a big difference when a 4 seater vehicle is used for every person who needs to move around compared to vehicles with 1 seat per person (buses and trains) for moving most people. Effectively it feels 4x more crowded, 4x more smelly, 4x more noisy than it needs to be.
Even when people are not using those cars, they sit on the pavement taking up public space, or sit in car parks taking up space which could be used for housing.

Unfortunately eventually they'll end up building on the whole island and then there will be no Malta it will just be a floating metropolis in the med.
