First new Busconnects orbital routes serving north Dublin to launch next month

BusConnects Phase 3 will launch on May 29 and will see the implementation of two northside orbital routes.

The N4 and the N6, which will see the replacement of the 17A, were originally expected to begin in January but were delayed due to driver shortages.

The N4 will be operated by Dublin Bus while the N6 is a Go-Ahead Ireland route.
