Bus Éireann forced to u-turn on Cork bus route

Bus Éireann has bowed to public pressure and tweaked changes on the Cork bus service linking Apple’s sprawling European HQ and Mahon Point.

Former lord mayor, Chris O’Leary, who led a residents’ blockade of the city’s bus depot in protest at the impact the route 202 changes had in the Mahon area, welcomed the move.

“This is not about victory. It’s about common sense. It’s about the company talking to their customers and listening,” he said.
