Cork gets first of 15 new buses

Bus Éireann has announced a €3.5m investment in its Cork fleet.

Despite taking fire yesterday for cutting some of its commercial Expressway services, company chairman Aidan Murphy said the improving economic conditions and the introduction in Cork of the Leap Card, warranted investment in 15 new buses.

He was speaking after he and board members visited the Capwell bus depot to see the arrival of the first of the low-floor, fully accessible double-decker buses.
