New public transport: The Gliders

[BullensRoad]

They’re essentially bendy busses, supposedly able to carry more people than a double decker and offer easy access.





Been on them in Belfast and can’t see how they’re going to improve travel?

Unless they have designated road ways they’ll just be busses. Which baffles me as to why they can’t just put routes to the stadiums and airports now?

I haven't been on one here because my side of the city isn't servived, but i think they expanded the buses lanes on glider routes so they should be much quicker and efficient. I may be wrong on that.

Are the riots really that bad?

They are not the answer in Belfast anyway. They go places I don’t want to go and for places I do it’s faster to walk.

That was suppossed to say serviced. They only go East-West Belfast. Plans are in place for a North-South route but that has had it's own controversy.

If they could sort a decent bus service from South Parkway to the Airport, there wouldn't be a need for them in the south. Something like this to miss the traffic...

If that’s the case he should have put the benefits instead of just showing what is a bendy bus.

They got rid of those busses in London as they caused congestion being longer, brought them to Liverpool and only lasted a year I think.

Last time I got one was at goodison for a soccer bus to lime st, and it wasn’t fun being in the middle where it bends when it’s packed full.

Expensive gimmick

Is this a bendy bus rebrand?

They have these in Gronigen, Holland and they use normal roads. Work quite well tbh

 

[BullensRoad]

If only.

This would make a nice shuttle service between Town and BMD on match days.
