Expressway Shannon Galway recent customer reviews
At Shannon Airport the bus was 30 minutes late, had no sign whatsoever where the bus is travelling to.
Joachim B.
The journey itself was lovely, because we got to see the countryside. We sat at the very front so we got to see how the driver interacted with the other customers and we can say that the drivers both on arrival and departure were not friendly, quiet abrupt with other customers getting on the bus and not the friendly welcome i had been told Ireland was known for. On the travel back to the airport a customer very rudely told the driver to turn the Fxxxxxg music off as she said it was too loud. We then sat in silence for the rest of the journey. The positives were the busses ran on time and were clean.

Driver arrived at Shannon on time and we arrived in Galway on time.
