Ballyfermot residents have said that they are "very concerned" and about the new 60 BusConnects route, which is intended to replace the 79 next month.
On August 28, Phase 4 of the Bus Connects plan will see further bus routes replaced with “Spines”, and radial routes which run with high frequency into the city centre. The G-Spine (G1/G2) will replace the existing number 40 route, and the 79/79A will be replaced by the new number 60 route.
One Ballyfermot resident, Thomas Lynch, told Dublin Live that his mother who is a pensioner and her friends are all "very concerned" about the proposed changes. He said: "My mam is going on the 79/79A for many years now, she and her friends are old age pensioners and she's very concerned about this new bus.
