I have been travelling to university since the start of this university year in September. The service gets me from A to B, but some times there is the odd delay or one bus is late leaving me late on the next, so late for class, though traffic is so unpredictable that you cant really be annoyed about the service.

The bus drivers are all friendly and are good at their jobs in my area, they seem to have it down to an art of getting people onto the bus as quickly as possible.

The buses can sometimes be a bit run down and shabby, with ripped seats covered in graffetti and rubbish in between the seats on the smaller journey that I take to get to the main bus station in my area, though the Goldliner Express bus is a much bigger bus with bigger seats and more leg room, these buses take you on larger journeys like to the citys etc.

I get a 7 day freedom of N Ireland pass for £55 which allows me to travel on any type of transport provided by ulster bus, i.e trains, metron and buses, this is great value for me as student accomodation is much more expensive and I dont really like living in the city.

I think that the service overall provided by Ulsterbus is average, though if there were some new buses and more reliable travel times the service would be much better. I still would take this option to living in student accomodation any day.
