Ballyfermot locals frustration as new BusConnect routes lead to longer journey time and packed buses

Residents living in Ballyfermot have reported major issues with the introduction of the new BusConnects routes in the area since Sunday.

The 79, 79A and 40 bus routes were replaced by the G1, G2 and Route 60 on Sunday with changes causing a serious headache for locals. Many are seeing their journey time double while others are waiting for buses that either arrived severely delayed or already packed with passengers.

One of the biggest issues they are facing is the level of traffic through parts of Dublin 8 with many issues arising due to delays through Mount Brown. And already the routes operated by Dublin Bus have been impacted by anti-social behaviour when entering Cherry Orchard leading to the service being diverted.
