Galway City bus routes

Secoundrow

In particular the number 9
from eyre square out to gmit

Just wondering will these buses pick people up not at bus stops or do they only stop at the bus stops

no big deal but the nearest bus stop from where im living on this routh is a 5 min walk

just extremly handy if they picked people up cause it runs right past my rented house

;)pity walking 5 mins in pouring rain if I could get picked up at the side of the road


Im thinking though they probaly dont do this??:(

Nope you'll have to get on at a stop!

Secoundrow

20c in a brown envelope should do the trick

Which end of Forster Court are you?

At the city end, there is a stop, which number 9's stop at, on Bothan Brendain ui Eithir, by the laundry/Go-Bus office.

A single journey is €1.60 for an adult.
I think you can get monthly passes but I'm not sure how much they are...

There is: one woman is using it pretty regularly at the moment, and the drivers all seem to stop for her. (I had been sceptical, since the road is marked with double-yellows.)

The stop on Eyre Square is actually stop B, the one closest to the railway station on the east side of the square. (Some of my maps have the letters wrong sorry, I'm slowly fixing 'em up.)

There are weekly and monthly tickets: weekly run for any calendar week you choose (eg Thurs-Wed), monthly for calendar months only (eg August). You purchase them only at the BE office in the railway station, and need to have an ID (possibly photo ID) to do so. (Suspect you're supposed to carry the photo ID when you're using the bus, but I've never been asked for it.)

Current adult prices are E-1.60 for a single fare, E-17 for a weekly ticket (meaning you're saving the moment you take your 11th ride for the week) and <<don't know>> for the monthly ticket.

(Ahh, there's the guts of a FAQ written! )
