The shortage of bus drivers could delay plans to remove traffic from College Green, the National Transport Authority has warned.
Traffic lanes are set to be removed to make way for pedestrianised and public space on the square from next year. The removal of traffic lanes is designed to take place as the first tranche of bus routes are taken off College Green as part of the BusConnects plan.
BusConnects is the new system of public transport designed by the NTA which aims to improve bus services in Irish cities. Four phases of the plan have been rolled out so far with a further seven set to be unveiled over the next two years.
