New bus lanes start operating near Belfast Grand Central Station

New bus lanes began operating on Boyne Bridge Place and Hope Street near Belfast Grand Central Station on November 9. Northern Ireland’s Department for Infrastructure said the lanes are intended to help public transport move through the area as work around the station nears completion.

The restrictions apply from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. During those hours buses, motorcycles, bicycles and permitted taxis can use the lanes. Outside those hours the lanes are open to all vehicles. The department said the restrictions will be enforced.
