Delays frustrating for passengers, frustrating for drivers

The lack of bus priority lanes in Cork city forces bus drivers to merge with cars in lines of traffic, which adds time to each route.

I jumped on the 206 bus outside Capwell Bus Depot at approximately 2.30pm alongside Mr Williams and Bus Éireann media and communications manager Colin Heeney to get a feel for both bus driver and commuters experiences along the route.
