Do you call it “The Tramway” or “The Daniel Day”? Do you go towards Glencairn or Fortunestown?

From May 21st until the end of July the red line tram service will terminate at the Jervis Shopping Centre stop due to the construction of cross-city tracks.

Whilst this work is ongoing, a replacement bus service will be offered for people getting off at Jervis who want to travel to stops as far as the Point Depot.
