Bus Éireann Reviews 

Route 51. Really poor service. Family waited 2.5 hours in the cold. One bus cancelled. Next bus late, than had to change bus. Nearly missed flight. Completely unreliable. No communication. No adherance to timetables. Avoid if you can as you are highly unlikely to get to your destination in the indntended time frames.

Just sitting on the Cork to Waterford bus. Route 40....Sun Aug 31st '25..... 21.14pm.
I got on at Castlemartyr. The friendliest and politest driver. Brendan I think is his name. Take a huge bow Brendan and Expressway hope you realise the gem you have on this route. Not home yet but have had a good experience travelling on this bus.
Makes up for the most unfriendly driver on way to Cork last week.

Hi Was on the expressway bus from Waterford to cork . I must complain the journey to cork was so noisy inside the bus could not hear my music in my ears . Plus no WiFi and could not charge my phone. On the return was not much better still no WiFi or could not charge my phone. I will think twice before I go on them again. Also the bus was a bone shaker.both ways .

Arrived in Shannon airport,went to board 343 bus to Limerick,driver said I can’t pay with card,cash only, I give a €50 note which he says he cannot accept,I say I am meeting his criteria,he tells me to wait for next bus, I refuse,he magically can now change the €50 euro,some welcome home!!!
Imagine how tourists feel!!

The worst bus service. Always late and frustrating

The 101 route should be letting passengers off at all stops when the bus starts are both Drogheda and Dublin as its ridiculous that the bus only picks up passengers from Dublin to Swords and then only dropping them off from Balbriggan to Swords as all buses should be picking up passengers as well as letting them off at the same bus stops and all the Bus Eireann routes should be doing the exact same thing when they're operating all their services

The bus driver lost track of time and forgot to start driving once it was 8:40, he started driving at 8:43. I was about to go down to ask what time bus this was but I guess he realised and started the bus.

I think the bus drivers for 207 coming Donnybrook really need to do better

It is more expensive than Citylink and takes a longer route from the west to Dublin Airport, and there is no WiFi service.

For the route 40 to to in the middle of summer in a sunny day when everyone is going to the beach (youghal) this mediocre staff of Bus Eireann cannot think to increase the frequency instead they sell the tickets online and on top of that they let ppl without tickets hop in the bus while ppl with tickets stays with no more buses coming, A JOKE!!!!!

Bus Eireann Is offering the worst service without doubt is handling by the most mediocre “professionals” there is not similar awful service like they offer in the entire EU, definitely a shame, on top the prices are like if the service were premium, they should be closing the company and letting a private and first world company offer the service.

Never on time, no charging portals for phones, doesn't stop long enough to get a break from Galway to Derry route

Waiting for the 109x to go from carnaross to dublin and the bus just never arrived.

The bus arw always late we've been waiting the 9:30 am bus and 11:30am still not coming very poor service not reliable with time tables they had,one bus missed the schedule will be fine but 3 bus schedule in a row is very mean!!!!!

105 to blanchardstown is pathetic! Says on the bus app what time it will arrive at the bus stop and then never shows up… I work in blanchardstown so it’s essential that the bus times are accurate. Very disappointing. Do better!!!

The worst bus company I’ve ever seen! The buses are ALWAYS late — when they show up, that is! Because often they don’t. If you have an appointment or simply need to get to work (!!!), the bus doesn’t come! It’s unbelievable! Worse still, I repeat, the WORST bus company there is

Pathetic service. I can’t remember the last time my bus was not 20 mins delayed to ashbourne

Less than 1 star actually. The 101 continuously disappoints. Always late and full. Worst service from some of the male drivers. They would rather wait in traffic 1 feet from the bus stop instead of letting a passenger in. Absolute disgrace!

Absolutely a joke and the CEO getting praise all over LinkedIn for being amazing. Advertising service 32 new timetable to benefit the customer.
Today 50 minutes late arriving in Castleblayney to Dublin. My 3rd complaint in 3 weeks and a email response wrote no doubt by AI. All management in Bus Eireann organisation and said CEO should resign and take up a role more befitting to their experience . As for bus Aras station , some of the drivers , and the ground staff who are sitting on the shelf of a locked up glass office dressed literally as if they have just crawled out of bed barking at guests who require information. It's disgraceful and an embarrassment to Ireland .

Bus air conditioning broken today on the 245 on one of the hottest days of the year the upstairs of the bus must have been up to 30 degrees like a sauna. Sort out this issue asap this is not only dangerous for people with health issues its also very uncomfortable for people paying to use this bus. I personally felt dizzy and sick and wasnt the only one. If this happens again i will be going further about it. Sort it. Every bus needs air conditioning.

Awful awful awful service could be 10 minutes late or ten minutes early no way to really tell as they all lie on any sort of service they have pretending everything is on schedule
