New Cork bus plan promises more buses, more often with shorter wait times

The National Transport Authority said the new network would bring thousands more people closer to more frequent services

The NTA said the new network, which increases access to a greater number of schools and workplaces across the region, means the number of people living within 400m of a high-frequency bus route will increase by 39%. File picture: Larry Cummins

More buses will run more often and passengers will face shorter waits, transport chiefs promised on Monday morning as they unveiled Cork’s revamped bus network.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) said the new network would bring thousands more people closer to more frequent services, will deliver a second 24-hour service, and seven high-frequency services, with buses running every 15-minutes or more at peak periods.
