If a bus and a tram had a drunken nite together this would be the result

Bit too modern for my liking

@irishrailvideos9303 6 лет назад

It's like a cross-over of a bus and a tram. Belfast should've opened a tram system instead of getting rid of the older buses.

@RailVideosNI 6 лет назад

I agree

It looks like some sort of wierd crossbreed of a bus and a tram.

@Tehgoat 6 лет назад

It's essentially a tram but without the need for the infrastructure (Overhead Power lines, platforms) required

@trainsinireland5063 6 лет назад

@susandhifaoui 6 лет назад

is this going to replace the current local bus system? (I can't remember...are they green, or blue, pink, and white?)

@sampepper6242 6 лет назад

Susan Dhifaoui no it’s just replacing some of the pink metro routes👍

@miaumiau115 5 лет назад

Susan Dhifaoui it’s pink for metro Purple for glider Blue for the railways Light blue for ulsterbus Gold for goldliner Dark green for enterprise I think lol

@muntasirmahmood4374 3 года назад

This looks just like the Swansea Wright bendybus. Probably going to be a complete failure like that one as well.

@greek9244 Год назад

Glider isn’t a failure. I agree bringing back the trams would’ve been better but gliders are much cheaper to maintain and build. The on,y thing that’s bad about gliders is that there are bus lanes and stupid drivers complain that that is causing traffic even though it’s the cars that cause traffic

@eirugsiongriffiths8563 2 года назад

A proper tram or trolleybus system would be better.
