`Belfast Transport' is the story of public transport in Belfast from the horse buses of the 1860s to the Metro buses which were introduced in 2005. It is a fascinating story encompassing the change from horse buses to horse trams; the introduction of motor buses; 30 years of the trolleybuses; the closure of the tramways in the early 1950s; the closure of the trolleybus system in the late 1960s and the total dependence on diesel buses for intra-urban transport in Belfast. The story is told mainly through pictures with extended captions, describing not only the vehicles themselves but also their physical and social contexts. It covers the period of civil disturbances euphemistically known as `The Troubles' from 1969 during which the Belfast Corporation and its successor Citybus lost members of staff, hundreds of vehicles and millions of pounds.
