The late night services will run for four weekends up to and including Saturday December 21.
Translink chief Chris Conway said: “We are encouraging people to get familiar with the late-night services on offer and build them into their festive planning for great nights out in Belfast.
“People can extend their night out whether it’s going to the panto, socialising with family or friends or a shopping trip. Using greener public transport to get in and out of the city also means it’s a little gift to the planet too!
“We are pleased to be working with city partners again who will be helping us promote these services. We look forward to playing our part in helping to boost the night-time economy, supporting employment, tourism and keeping people better connected to the fantastic hospitality and festivities that the city has to offer”, Chris concluded.
