The National Transport Authority proposal will see a dramatic increase in the frequency of public buses in the city and a redrawing of the current network of routes
, which has been developed in conjunction with Bus Éireann and the City Direct bus company, will require a significant investment, both in terms of staff and new vehicles.
The current Eyre’s Square to Parkmore bus route is already one of the busiest in Ireland, carrying in excess of 1 million passengers annually. A new system of fares is also envisioned, which will allow bus travellers to transfer between different routes for free for 90 minutes after initially purchasing a ticket.Another key innovation of the new plan will be the development of Galway’s first 24-hour bus route, which will operate from Knocknacarra on the West side of the city, through Eyre’s Square, to the Parkmore and Doughiska areas on the east side.
