Expressway Cork Killarney recent customer reviews
When we went to Killarney from Cork the bus was almost half an hour late. And on the way back from Killarney we spent a very long time looking for a bus stop around town. And our great dissatisfaction was why to sell a ticket from this remote stop, if the bus goes to the bus station. People who do not know the city do not know the exact places of departure of the bus and can decide that it does not go from the bus station. And what a disappointment it was that at first we were in soap looking for a stop, afraid to be late and passed the bus station and the bus came to it later. Very inconvenient, they could have sold tickets from the bus station. I will never take this route again.

The bus was very clean, and prompt. The driver was exceptional and very helpful.

The coach is great. But I was given really silly information by Budbus with regard to bus stops.i found myself standing at bus tops with no shelter and outside town centers. As my journeys progressed I realized I'd been given ridiculous information and could have made my journey a lot easier with better suggestions.
