Reminder of late night bus services in Belfast amidst traffic and weather chaos
Following Belfast’s Night Czar Micheal Stewart’s visit to businesses across the Belfast One area, Belfast ONE Business Improvement District (BID) CEO Martina Connolly has today voiced her support and the support of city centre businesses for this message.
Martina also emphasised the importance of maximising the use of late-night buses and trains every Friday and Saturday from now until 21st December. She said:
“The late-night buses and trains started last weekend and have already proven successful. This weekend sees the first full weekend of late-night services and the majority of Christmas parties and gatherings taking place across the city. City Centre footfall reports so far this year have been positive, and we’re encouraging people to continue to come and enjoy the city and get home safe using Translink services. We want to ensure that both businesses and the public know that late-night buses and trains are available every Friday and Saturday night until the 21st of December.”
Martina also commended the efforts of local businesses who are fully embracing the festive season:
“Belfast City Centre businesses have fully embraced Christmas creating a festive atmosphere this year by investing in decorations and illuminations for their businesses and the city. There is so much to come in and see and do in Belfast this year including Gingerbread Lane at Henry’s, Queen’s Arcade, Amelia Hall and the city’s latest addition, The Stock Exchange on Royal Avenue.
“We are asking our local leaders to support the request for night-time transport throughout the year to ensure our city continues to thrive and remain accessible for all.”
