Ballyfermot residents 'very concerned' over new BusConnects routes

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.
