Belfast - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?
Safe and affordable. Do be careful sometimes -- there are two city-wide taxi companies, and many neighbourhood-based taxi companies. These latter will sometimes be reluctant to take you from a Catholic area to a Protestant area or vice versa, so if using them, it's normally best to get off in a neutral area and then walk the rest of the way home. Also, you need to call and arrange for a cab to pick you up, you can't hail one on the street (normally). - Nov 2014
They are generally safe and relatively affordable (given how expensive everything is).Buses and trains are readily available throughout the country and have good on-time records. - Aug 2007
