We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Bus

He’s leaving home…

atest press release from Fianna Fáil’s Jack Commons, issued on Tuesday, May 21st 2024…

Fianna Fáil election candidate Jack Commons for Greystones has said that allied improvements of transport services must match the significant growth of the town.

Speaking about the need for further investment, Commons said: “Greystones and the surrounding district has seen huge growth without the allied improvement of transport services. Students and families need to be able to travel safely in and out of schools.”

More frequent transport services are needed for the increased demand in Greystones, and that is something Jack pledges to do, if elected on June 7th.

“If elected on June 7th, I will ensure that I will have a direct input on roads, and transport services through the Local Area Plan. These services are vital for people and families in our community, we must deliver for them.”

The lack of frequency of buses in the area is something that is frustrating for constituents in Greystones, along with the frustration of buses often been full after a few stops.

“The number of people trying to use the service has increased substantially, and often buses are full after one or two stops. Some routes have had reduction in capacity too, and that is simply not enough for the sheer volume of commuters coming out of Greystones”.

Jack continued “The DART to Greystones isn’t frequent enough and nor is the train to Kilcoole. If the DART is to remain so infrequent we need to have a joined-up bus service from Bray to Greystone, Kilcoole and the surrounding areas. This is something I will look at if elected”

“Transport and infrastructure needs real focus in local government here in Greystones over the next five years.

“If given the privilege on June 7th, I promise to make this a priority, and to be a reliable voice for the people of Greystones and Wicklow.”
