Tap and go payment coming to Cork City buses by October to speed up boarding times

Cork City’s bus network is set for a major upgrade as tap and go technology promises to speed up journeys

The second biggest source of bus delays, after traffic congestion, is the payment process at bus stops.

Tap and go technology to help fast-track the passenger boarding and payment process on Cork’s suburban bus network should be installed on the city’s fleet by October.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) provided the timeline in response to a question from Labour city councillor, Peter Horgan, chair of the council’s transport committee.
