Engage with Age facilitated a “secret shopping” trip to test the effectiveness of the new Glider bus service. Four older people caught the Glider in Belfast City Centre and travelled to Dundonald Park and Ride at the Glider’s furthest east stop, and then all the way West to McKinstry Road.
The feedback from the “secret shoppers” will inform a response to the Glider by the Greater Belfast Seniors Forum (G6) and will be passed on to Translink. This is part of the G6’s ongoing promotion of the needs of older people regarding transport in Belfast.
