New bus routes to boost city network

BUS Éireann plans to roll out two new routes on its Limerick city service this year.

A new service from the city centre to Annacotty via Eastway Business Park is planned for the spring, allowing the company to serve more communities and customers.

Commuters at the University of Limerick campus at Plassey are also set to benefit from a new route, with the introduction of the planned Thomond village/city centre service. This service is due to start next September and will initially operate every hour.
