Bus Éireann to move to a ‘Saturday Plus’ schedule from Wednesday, April 1st

New timetable will be based on the current Saturday schedule, augmented by additional services

In response to COVID-19, all weekday Bus Éireann and Expressway services will operate on a ‘Saturday Plus’ schedule from Wednesday, April 1.

The timetable change, which is being introduced in line with similar changes on all public transport operators, will ensure that essential services are maintained nationwide. All areas that currently have a Bus Éireann or Expressway service will continue to have one, and additional services will operate in certain areas driven by demand.

The health and safety of customers, staff, and the wider public is paramount for Bus Éireann and all guidelines issued by health authorities continue to be adhered to. An enhanced cleaning regime has been implemented on the fleet and at the depots and customers are asked to please be mindful of the guidelines in relation to respiratory etiquette, hand hygiene and social distancing if using, or considering travelling on public transport.

Stephen Kent, Chief Executive Officer of Bus Éireann said; “I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the work being done by our staff around the country during these challenging times to provide a reliable public transport service for those who need to travel.

The new timetables starting next week will help us to continue to provide these essential services, and to maintain the necessary social distancing requirements on board in the best interests of both our customers and our drivers.”
