Bus Éireann was projecting €20m in losses over the next three years if the now-axed Expressway routes from Dublin to Cork, Limerick and Galway were continued.

The loss of thousands of students and airport passengers in recent months, as well as capacity restrictions on buses, are among the reasons for the stark projections.
