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

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.

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

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

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

A proper tram or trolleybus system would be better.

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

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
