Glider / Metro Etiquette
On Monday, I was in Belfast and needed to get to Lanyon Place.
I was running late and decided to hop onto a Metro bus at the City Hall to take me round to Lanyon.
The first problem was, I had no idea of what bus to catch and had to ask one of the waiting drivers. Of course, I've discovered the Translink app does help guide you to the correct bus stop and service. If I didn't have access to a smartphone, I'd have no idea of what service to catch and from where.
On the bus as it was turning onto East Bridge Street, I hit the button to request the bus to stop. However, there were already people waiting at that stop.
Here's the problem - I assume I was meant to get off using the middle door? As I'd hit the button, I thought that the door would open - it did not! In my panic I had to push past people alighting at the forward door to get off - I'm sure they hated me.
Is there a special button to open the middle door?
