Michael Moynihan: Thoughts on BusConnects while taking a short bus journey in Cork

Will BusConnects bring people into town or discourage them from leaving the suburbs, such as Douglas?

ST PATRICK'S Street: This is great, it’s so long since I got the bus that I’d forgotten the traffic ban on St Patrick’s Street means the buses roll through unimpeded, double-decker gazelles cruising along the tarmac veldt.

Who am I kidding? It’s like the Arc de Triomphe scene from John Wick 4 here. Cars, vans, bikes, scooters: stuck for the last five minutes. If the traffic ban isn’t enforced here, what hope with enforcing new rules and procedures for BusConnects?
