Actually, terrible isn't the correct term. Non-existing.

This thing won't work unless they're able to work with Translink in establishing good bus connections.
It's a non-starter. Even Translink thinks it's a dud and that's why there's no investment in something like this. Too much capital tied up in a boat that is only needed in the peak hours.
