The Translink strike has been called off after workers accepted an improved pay deal.
The offer from employers means an end to all industrial action on the network.
Peter Macklin, GMB Organiser, said:
"This shows the strength that workers have when they stick together to demand a fair deal.
“This is a well deserved pay increase and package that our members fought hard for.
“We thank every member who stood firm and earned this decent pay deal for themselves and their colleagues.”
A Translink spokesperson said:
"Translink is pleased that members of Unite the Union and GMB Bus Driver Trade Unions have accepted the revised pay offer.
“This revised offer acknowledged our drivers’ concerns over increasing inflation and the cost of living, while also supporting wider business needs.
“Maintaining services for our customers has been of the utmost priority for the company and we are pleased to have found a way forward that will enable us to build back public transport for a more sustainable and better future for all”.
