Had big big troubles finding the bus! the given address Lower Glanmire Road isn't helpful at all! Just add 'close to the Cork Kent station' !

There was very intoxicated bus riders that were verbally and physically harassing passengers and besides one stop that the bus driver made to warn them he didn’t do anything. I genuinely think this situation was extremely dangerous for the other passengers with one person even being slapped by one of the intoxicated riders. Was a midgnight bus and could not sleep due to the ridiculous amount of noise they made
