Operated as Metro, Citybus Limited (pre 7 February 2005 name) is a bus company in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is a subsidiary of the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company, also known as Translink.
Metro operates 12 quality bus corridor (QBCs) in Belfast, a number of additional routes, as well as a Nightlink service.
The service began as the Belfast Corporation Transport Department. In 1973, these services were transferred to the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company as Citybus Limited, becoming part of the "Translink" integrated network in 1995. In 2004, Translink/NITHC announced that Citybus would be completely reorganised into 12 QBCs and integrated with Ulsterbus services in the Greater Belfast area. Citybus was relaunched as Metro on 7 February 2005.
