Is there one public transport provider for buses and trains in Northern Ireland?

Yes. Translink operates the main bus and rail public transport networks in Northern Ireland.

Translink runs Northern Ireland Railways and the main bus networks, including Metro, Glider, Ulsterbus and Goldliner. This allows many journeys to be planned through one provider rather than separate bus and rail companies.

For a trip involving more than one mode, use Translink’s journey-planning tools to confirm connections and current timings.
