Expressway Galway Shannon recent customer reviews
I had to change my flight. I then had to try and change my bus ticket to a later time. I used the chat feature the day before and then after putting in all my details and asking the question, the chat said it would get back to me, which it didn’t. I then phoned expressway when they opened in the morning at 9.00am. I was kept waiting for 15 mins and then at 9.17 I b was told that I could not change my ticket as it was less than an hour before my booked ticket (10.10am). So I had to buy another ticket!!!

I did not enjoy the fact that the solution to me getting on a stop earlier was buy another ticket….unbelievable
Una B.
Use alternative travel. Don't use expressway buses. We left 45 minutes late with no explanation given. The bus was there but no driver. He arrived at the departure time then chatted with another driver for ten minutes then took over half an hour checking tickets. Absolute joke
