Route testing days

October 19th, 2007

We’ve been testing our route over the last two days. We’ve been surprised at how consistently and quickly we’re going to be able to bring our customers to town. A lot obviously depends on congestion, but we’ve been able to make the trip in 30 minutes quite frequently. (Of course, when the vehicles have to pick up paying passengers, it will take a bit longer.)

As important as the actual timing is that we can do this consistently. We chose our route especially so that we could avoid congestion and guarantee as well as we possibly could that the bus arrives on time, every time, even in bad weather conditions and even when Swords village or the city get really congested.

I must say that the trip to the city is really pleasant. Because we’re running on the motorway, everybody needs to be seated.  The seats on the vehicles we’re using are comfy and there’s a smooth ride.

We’re getting ready to launch the Swords Express Bus Service. There’s been a lot of preparation going on in the background and soon we’ll be ready to go.

The core benefit of our service is regular, rapid, comfortable travel to the city centre, taking advantage of the Dublin Port Tunnel, the Swords Bus Corridor, and future developments, especially the new bus corridor along North Wall Quay and the Macken Street Bridge.

As well as reducing commute times for the people of Swords, we hope to make Swords a more attractive destination for shopping and working.

We are anxious to work with the community and we welcome all your suggestions.
