LibertyBus continues reduced service on some routes due to staff shortages

LibertyBus has been forced to reduce the service frequency on some of its routes after being hit by staff shortages

LIBERTYBUS will continue to operate reduced services on some of its routes caused by ongoing staff shortages.

The frequency of services on routes 1 and 15 (to Gorey and the Airport respectively) dropped this week from every 15 minutes to every 20 minutes between 9am and 4.30pm, while services on route 20 (the town circular service) moved from every 20 minutes to every half an hour.

The company has said this will remain the case next week due to an ongoing shortage of drivers, caused by a combination of retirement, sickness and people moving to other industries.

LibertyBus director Kevin Hart said: ‘We apologise to customers for the disruption and have tried to keep the reductions in frequency to a minimum. If we have any other issues that occur each day then we will of course post them on our social-media channels and ask our customers to keep track via Facebook and Twitter for updates.’
