What time is the first bus to Ulster University?

Do buses run to Ulster University outside term time?

The timetables here are the operators' own published data, so they show what is running now, including any current holiday timetable. Dedicated university services are the ones most likely to stop or thin out in the vacation — that applies to the 290q. Ordinary local routes generally run all year.

How much is the bus to Ulster University, and is there a student fare?

Translink sells discounted student tickets including yLink for 16–23s; in the Republic, the Student Leap Card gives reduced fares. Both are worth more than a single-journey saving if you commute daily.
