On Wednesday 22nd February 2023, The National Transport Authority (NTA) published its draft new bus network for Limerick. The redesign of the bus network is one of the nine key elements of Bus Connects Limerick that aims to transform the cityโs bus system, making public transport more useful to more people.
The new network report being published today has been prepared by Jarrett Walker & Associates, a US based firm which specialises in designing metropolitan public transport systems, in collaboration with the NTA, Limerick City and County Council, Clare County Council and Bus รireann.
Under the proposals within the Limerick bus network redesign report, the level of bus services in Limerick city and its suburbs will increase by approximately 70%. In addition, a new 24-hour bus service would operate between University Hospital Limerick, the city centre and the University of Limerick.
The consultation period for the Bus Connects Limerick Draft New Bus Network will run from Wednesday 22nd February until Friday 7th April 2023.
