Passengers still waiting for bus timetable

BUS Éireann’s plan to introduce GPS satellite technology on its national bus fleet, at a cost of €4.2 million, in order to notify bus passengers of arrival times is great news.

In the meantime, perhaps they will kindly provide a couple of old-fashioned printed bus timetables for display at bus stops at Cork airport and the business park there so the ever-increasing number of airport passengers wishing to travel between Cork and Kinsale on the No 249 service are informed that it stops there, and at what times.

Despite repeated requests for display of a separate timetable for this service, Bus Éireann continues to ignore our needs by only displaying a timetable for the Cork city/airport commuter service at the airport bus stop.

This causes great confusion and inconvenience to passengers wishing to travel to Kinsale.

If Bus Éireann has €4.2 million to spend, perhaps it can now supply us with the extra morning bus which was requested by 1,140 commuters last June and licensed last September. We are still waiting for it.
