Watch out for 24/7 bus services on city routes ....https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/dublin-express-airport-bus-services-21422200 (https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/dublin-express-airport-bus-services-21422200)


A British coach operator has announced plans to launch a high-frequency service that will operate between Dublin Airport and the city centre.

National Express, which is the nation’s largest coach operator, will create 70 jobs with the roll-out.

The service will be operated on National Express’ behalf by Bernard Kavanagh Coaches and will run on a 24-hour basis.

The ‘Dublin Express’ will begin in March and will have three routes, with a phased expansion of the network bringing more in the future, Dublin Live reports.

John Boughton, managing director of National Express Ireland, said: “Dublin Express will transform what it means to ride an airport service in the Irish capital.

Once someone is providing the service I guess it doesn't matter who it is.

Doesn’t air coach run 24 hours, and on more routes??

And this crowd expect to run a bus every 20 minutes and expect the journey to be 20 minutes. Wait until the tunnel closes someday and it takes them 14 hours to go 100 meters on the quays
