Expressway Galway Killarney recent customer reviews
The first bus was late, then the driver chatted a lot of time away, he also chatted forever with a guy in Shannon airport station instead of driving off in time and said it because of traffic ( which was fine) I could make the next connection as that bus was also late. But instead of driving off that driver went for a smoke after all passengers wher in the bus. We were exactly in time at this point. He took a long time. I needed to get Killarney and it was the last chance to get there. Because of his long break we arrived in Abbeyfeal 25 minutes late and the private driver I order to Killarney to get me home. Was already on its way there. So I had to go to Tralee, book a taxi to get home which cost me a fortune. If drivers are late for connecting routes, they don't care. They could have easily make it in timeas it wasn't traffic, but chatting, wasting time, leaving the bus to have a smoke and chat outside at the exact time they should leave the bus station. It was huge trouble and Hugh extra cost which were totally unessecary
