Chief Commerical Officer for the company, Eleanor Farrell, said that while only 7% of its services have a demand that exceeds capacity, Expressway routes are less likely to satisfy customer demands. 

Owing to the Covid-19 public health guidelines, passenger capacity of Bus Éireann vehicles is down 50% with the service under its greatest pressure at peak times, 12 noon and 7pm.
