A New Era For Public Transport in Belfast
On Tuesday 28th August 2018 the first of Translink's Glider Buses entered service working trail services running every 30 minutes on route G1 from Dundonald Park & Ride In East Belfast to Colin Town Transport Hub / McKinstry Road in West Belfast via Belfast City Centre the trail services also ran on Wednesday 29th & Thursday 30th August.
In this video we take a ride on 3203 on the east side section of route G1. I personally think these buses are very nice to travel on they are smooth fast and comfy.
There is currently 30 Buses in the fleet. 2 More Buses are on order.
Full services on Route G1 from East to West Belfast & Route G2 to Titanic Quarter will commence on Monday 3rd September 2018.

got on one earlier for the first time in the City Centre; was supposed to get the G2 to the Titanic Quarter, but, me being me, I got on the G1 and nearly ended up a Connswater 😂

I was waiting for the destination announcement voice over to say "an chéad stad eile Cherryhill" its weird that that runs through my head even when Im not driving and I know it's a Northern bus but I still expected it, its just her voice 😅

It's a shame they removed many Metro stop signs that were in Irish and replaced them with English-only Glider ones. Also a shame Belfast didn't just get a tram system like Dublin's Luas.

my city bought a longer version of these ones and have almost completely removed all tram lines without 1. I love trams but i like these buses aswell but a shame everyone thinks past trams

The one problem I found with these buses is if you sit at the very back where you were sitting the engine noise will make you go deaf!

All we need now is a "Nice Clean Welcoming City" to match the bus. Instead of the pity it is. The city centre is a disgrace. The council should be ashamed.

Is it actually as noisy as I hear on the video? It's hitting all the gullies at the side of the road. I suppose that can't be helped but it doesn't make the journey that comfortable.

Well they do have a diesel engine which keeps the batteries powers and despite the bumbs it was still a smooth journey

Despite what some might say about these buses. I actually quite like the sounds of the engines on these new buses because it sounds a lot like a Mk2 Mercedes Citaro. I might take a special trip into town to ride these buses for myself. I like the seating and I will be making a video at some point.

I am looking forward to riding one and in my opinion they look a wee bit like the Alstom Flexitram at the front around the cab area. When I do my video, I will sit either right at the front and film out of the front window or I will film from the back seat when the vehicle is not busy. All the best.

They are dangerous, uncomfortable, don't have enough seats, just 40, of which only 4 are for the disabled on the floor the rest are on a high platform as the fuel cell and batteries are positioned under the vehicle. The driver is locked in his cabin, doesn't see or hear what's happening on the floor and there's no staff on the floor. I'm nearly crippled with severe arthritis, pinched nerves and more, can't climb onto the seats on platforms, the four seats are usually in use so I can't sit. I've had so many accidents on them with no aid from the driver, at least other passengers are willing to help, I'm too scared to use them, have to find another route with different buses. I have epilepsy, can't drive, so I'm fully dependent on public transport

Sitting at the back, to my ear, it sounds like a very beefy V8. No gears. From the front, like a modern tram or trolley.
