Letters to the Editor: Lack of buses in Cork is having a direct impact on my education

A reader points out that there is no direct bus service linking the student accommodation at Victoria Cross with the Tramore Rd campus of Cork College of Further Education and Training. Picture: Larry Cummins

I am a student at Cork College of FET — Tramore Road Campus, and I have been struggling with attendance at college. The buses are either always late, delayed, or in most cases full. Therefore, I have been struggling to make the early/morning classes.

I am very upset about the terrible bus services (and lack of bus services). I have many mental disabilities such as ADHD. Part of My ADHD is that I am mentally unable to wake up early/sleep early, so it is very difficult for me to make the morning classes on time; therefore, I always end up missing the first classes. I am extremely worried/concerned that all of this will have a bad impact on my learning experience and that the buses being late will reflect badly on me. My poor attendance puts my college place in jeopardy.
