A South Dublin County Councillor is calling on Dublin Bus and the National Transport Authority (NTA) to urgently address issues such as lateness and cancellations relating to the route 68 bus.
According to Independent Cllr Francis Timmons, passengers have gotten in touch about "constant issues" around lateness, unreliabilty, cancellation and non-arrival for the route of the 68 bus in Newcastle. In September, the roll-out of the W6 BusConnects route was delayed until 2024 due to the Hazelhatch canal bridge not being wide enough for buses to pass each other, and the National Transport Authority has split the route into two, the W61 and W62.
Cllr Timmons told Dublin Live: "The 68 bus also serves Peamount Hospital and 30 years ago when I worked there it was the same hourly plus service, this is with the addition of thousands of new homes and families.
