'Serious concerns' raised about BusConnects due to spike of no-show buses in north Dublin

A north Dublin councillor has raised "serious concerns" about a large number of no-show buses in the Ballymun and Finglas areas.

BusConnects Phase 3 launched in north Dublin in May and implemented two new orbital routes, the N4 and N6. The routes were designed to link suburbs together without having to travel through the city centre and replaced the 17a and 31d.

However, locals have reported a large amount of delayed or no-show buses that is a result of a "chronic shortage of drivers". Independent Councillor for Ballymun-Finglas Noeleen Reilly said problems with buses is "the number one issue" that residents have contacted her about during the last week.
