Ulsterbus Foyle
Ulsterbus Foyle is a brandname developed by Ulsterbus for its services in Derry, Northern Ireland.[1] The service was opened on 4 September 2006 following a review and expansion of the city's bus routes and replacement of many of the cities older buses.
The principles behind the route structure and timetables are similar to those of Metro that operates buses in Belfast. Prior to this Ulsterbus services within Derry were branded as Derry City services.
