Axing Cork bus routes ‘may hit disadvantaged students’
It emerged last week that a number of Bus Éireann services in the city are likely to be withdrawn from next month because of cuts to its budget. One of the routes almost certain to be affected is the number 1 orbital service, which links the northside suburbs of Mayfield, The Glen, Blackpool and Knocknaheeny with Cork Institute of Technology and Fás, as well as dropping students near University College Cork.
Mr O’Keeffe told the Irish Examiner he did not know the details of the plans but said he would raise it with Bus Éireann’s regional management to find out what the impact might be.
