Due to popular demand, Bus Éireann has extended its exclusive Twitter offer of a €2 single fare on its Galway-Dublin and Galway-Cork routes until September 15th 2009.

Tickets for this offer can only be purchased by visiting http://twitter.com/buseireanndeals and clicking on the offer link. The offer was originally due to expire on August 31st 2009.

The €2 tickets for off-peak services between Galway and Dublin, and Galway and Cork are available on a limited number of seats per service. The offer represents a significant discount from normal single fares on these services.

The €2 single fare applies to the following daily services –

“Bus Éireann is very happy with the reaction to its Twitter site so far and we want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to take advantage of these incredible fares,” said Andrew McLindon, PR and Media Manager, Bus Éireann.

Bus Éireann is using Twitter to announce further offers, special services and service information.

Bus Éireann’s use of Twitter is another example of the company’s commitment to digital innovation. Bus Éireann led the way among European bus companies in providing on-line ticket sales for immediate use through its website (www.buseireann.ie) and will also shortly introduce its real-time passenger information system that will provide customers with up-to-the minute details on when buses will arrive and depart at stops across the country via their mobile phone and the Internet.
