Smaller buses suggested as way to save city route

RUNNING smaller buses could save two under-threat bus routes in Cork city, it was claimed.

Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork, Fine Gael Cllr Patricia Gosch made the proposal ahead of a protest march in the city this morning over proposals to axe two crucial city bus routes.

From mid-June, Bus Éireann plans to cancel the number 12 and a number of northern orbital bus routes.
