Relatives of mine need a service that brings them to college and work on time as they have no personal transport themselves.

To get to atu in the mornings for first class is not possible as the first bus would need to leave oughterard approx 30 mins earlier that it does already

Traffic has become a massive problem leaving from Oughtarard/Rosscahill area into galway city each morning, a direct bus would help so many people in the area.

Locals and students need to be able yo attend classes and work on yime for 9.00am start and be guaranteed to get home on the bus also. Huge numbers of students now living and commuting into the city.

The demand, population & commuter traffic has increased in Oughterard & surrounding areas into Galway city. A better timed, more frequent bus service, bus stops and bridge are all needed.

Joe Folan (Oughterard, 2023-09-18)

We have an inadequate bus service, especially during peak periods, we are trying to reduce our carbon footprint but because of lack of a service its forcing more people to take their cars.

Carol Keogh (Galway, 2023-09-18)

More bus routes are needed.
I've just finished in college and agree with all of the stated reasons.

Inadequate service at present.

Daniel O’SULLIVAN (Oughterard, 2023-09-18)

The need is real, the public bus service does not serve the needs of those living locally.

Additional bus service require both in the morning and evening to help kids get to and from college due to lack of accommodation within the city centre

I'm signing because my son can not make his 9am lectures in ATU, Well Park lcampus in Galway + has his lecturers commenting on him being at least 20mins late for his 9am lectures.

Nadine O'Gorman (Oughterard, 2023-09-18)

If the government are serious about people using public transport and not using their cars, extra bus runs are needed ASAP

Antoinette Lydon (Oughterard, 2023-09-18)

#68

I agree that a direct bus service is needed.

Deirdre O'Connor (Galway, 2023-09-18)

#71

A service like this is badly needed not only for our students and workers but I know a lady who on 2 occasions that I know of that was waiting on the bus to go for hospital appointment by time bus had come to oughterard the bus was full so she was refused and had make her own way to galway if the bus is full by time it gets to oughterard its not much use. And absolutely your never on time for people who work or are going to college.

Mairead larkin (Galway, 2023-09-18)

#74

I am signing this as I feel there a huge and growing need of an improved bus service especially in the morning. This is particularly important for students going to ATU, GTI and University of Galway

John Byrne (Oughterard, 2023-09-18)

#75

There's a real need for a better transport system between rural areas and city.

Julie Sullivan (Galway, 2023-09-18)

#80

This is a much needed service

Alan Welby (Oughterard, 2023-09-18)

#82

The buses are too unreliable and are full if they do arrive on time.
Also booking a bus ticket with bus eireann does not reserve you a seat meaning you could pay for your ticket prior and still not get on the bus.

Oran Bines (Galway, 2023-09-18)

#87

More buses needed on this route

David Faherty (Galway, 2023-09-19)

#89

I have teenage children that will soon need to use a bus service that will get them to college for 9 in the morning.

Deirdre Kelliher (Rosscahill, 2023-09-19)

#90

I’d prefer to use a bus rather than my car.

John Walsh (Galway, 2023-09-19)

#91

I work in the city and need better public transport.

Shaun Guihen (Galway, 2023-09-19)

#96

I would use a reliable bus service to commute from Oughterard to the University of Galway for work 4 days a week, if it existed. Traffic is atrocious on the N59 from Moycullen/Cloonife Cross to Newcastle every single day once term starts. Not to mention the climate impact due to that volume of single occupancy cars travelling into town. We need an adequate, workable and above all consistently reliable public transport option for the vast number of commuters/students coming from the west side of the county. Sort it out.

Lucy Browe (Oughterard, Co Galway, 2023-09-19)

#98

I am fully in support of a efficient bus service for Oughterard and the North Connemara area. Need to send petition to NTA and if people cannot avail of current service due to overcrowding this information would help

Thomas Welby (Oughterard, 2023-09-19)

We desperately need more bus services

Charlotte May (Moycullen, 2023-09-19)

It's a service needed

Catherine Cronin (Oughterard, 2023-09-19)

#103

Private bus would suit workers and people with appointments.

Frances MCDonagh (Galway, 2023-09-19)

#105

i am an every day bus user if possible but that does not happen everyday, normally i will need to get another way in or a taxi which is not fair on us seeing we are just trying to make our way in life without being reliant on otherrs, bus is needed consistently for school and work. we are claiming benefits or dole money so we just want our independance. alot of the time the bus arrives but the driver waves at you to say they are full. what do we do then like? it is not on and we need it fixing ASAP

AIDAN WALSH (galway, 2023-09-19)

#106

Constantly late to work coming in from oughterard and it’s getting very stressful the city bus complains if you don’t get the bus from station and you’re not guaranteed a spot same with bus eireann it’s not good enough , the day is hard enough without lectures from bus drivers and delays -

Rachel Keogh (Galway, 2023-09-19)

#109

There is not enough buses connecting Oughterard and Galway, the roads are polluted with cars. A regular bus would be a good solution.

Andrea Lovincic Babic (Rosscahill, 2023-09-19)

#110

Due to lack of services from Oughterard to Galway and over crowding on current service

Aisling Faherty (Co Galway, 2023-09-19)

#111

I totally agree with Niamh, it would reduce unnecessary cars on the road and thus have great environmental impact. Too many one person car journeys, plus essential for students and workers.It's a no brainer, as would hopefully pay for itself, none the less it’s essential!

Cepta Stephens (Oughterard, 2023-09-19)

#112

In the interest of easing traffic that seems to start earlier and earlier every morning, it would be ideal if a bus or buses could travel earlier than 745am to allow students and workers to arrive on time

Catherine Mannion (Rosscahill, 2023-09-19)

#113

Kids going to NUIG and Yeats. Bus will often pass kids by as it's already full.

Erica Leonard (Moycullen, 2023-09-19)

#115

I'm signing this petition because, as a college student who can't drive the bus is often the only way to get in to the university and there are not enough buses currently and they often do not get you in early enough for college.

Maeve Samali (Rosscahill, 2023-09-19)

#116

A better bus service would be great for the community

Emma Walsh (Rosscahill, 2023-09-19)

Niamh Fahey (Galway, 2023-09-19)

Of the lack of proper bus device from oughterard to city colleges, students need the assurances that they can get to college on time and not be stressed before starting a day of learning

Pat Conneely (Galway, 2023-09-19)

I have children going to school in Galway

Geraldine Curran (Galway, 2023-09-19)

#136

I'm signing because I believe this early bus service is essential to enable students/workers/residents to get into Galway in time for classes/lectures/work & also to support the environment!

Triona Nic Giolla Choille (Oughterard, 2023-09-19)

#139

A direct bus service is needed to meet the needs of the local population. Public transport will also get more cars off the road and help address the issue of climate change, which is government policy.

Niamh Walsh (Oughterard, 2023-09-19)

#141

This is an essential service for the Ouhterard community. Please carefully consider & support this petition, it will make a huge difference to people who rely on public transport for employment, academic studies and societal needs.

Kate Arkley (Oughterard, 2023-09-19)

#142

My daughter is going to school in Galway and needs transport in.There are loads more kids needing the same transport.This would be environmentally smart and relieve traffic.

DAVID LUSKIN (OUGHTERARD, 2023-09-20)

#147

I feel we need a more regular bus service from Oughterard/Moycullen to Galway. My daughters have waited numerous times for the bus 419 and have been left waiting as the bus is full by the time it gets to Moycullen.

Joan Conneely (Galway, 2023-09-20)

I’d like to see a dependable alternative to the car, to address both economic and environmental issues and concerns with necessary travel.

The bus service at present is insufficient.

Mary Graham (Galway, 2023-09-20)

#152

I recently looked to use the Oughterard to Galway bus service and the times did not meet my needs. Additionally I have a child in primary school at present in Oughterard and would like an improved bus service to facilitate potential secondary school or college options in Galway city in future.

Helen Cusack (Oughterard, 2023-09-20)

This is a much needed service to ease road pressure from Oughterard to Galway

Neil Podmore (Oughterard, 2023-09-20)

Additional buses are needed from Oughterard and Rosscahill to Galway daily and return

Mary Thornton (Galway, 2023-09-20)

#161

I use the bus regularly to get to and from college and have numerous times where either the bus hasn’t showed up or the bus was full and had to wait an additional two hours for the next one.

Dani Cocieru (Galway, 2023-09-20)

It's can be very stressful for people knowing they will be late for work/college and it being out of their control.

I live in oughterard and know this will benefit so many people here.

fidelma molloy (oughterard, 2023-09-25)

The current bus service is unable to cope with demand or provide reliable service, need for extra buses to cater for public need.

Sinead O’Toole (Oughterard, 2023-09-25)

#185

We need a better and more frequent bus service into Galway city . I have 2 school age children. The older child will be going to college in a couple of years we live between Oughterard and Moycullen. We need more buses arriving in Galway before college and work commence. Traffic is so heavy now on the 59 if people could get a bus they could rely on they would use it and it would take more cars off the roads. I see busses passing people waiting on the rd. Demand is now outstripping supply. Busses are arriving too late due to back ups on the N59.

Stella CREAVEN (Galway, 2023-09-25)

#186

I think that there is a need for the new service urgently

#191

I need a bus that allows me to atten my 9 am classes everyday at the university of Galway, and a bus that can take me back from the university to oughterard. I'm singing this petition because I usually get left behind on the bus stop as there are not enough seats and I have to wait til 20:15 to get on a bus due to the small frequency of buses.

Iciar Saenz (Oughterard, 2023-09-26)

#192

The current service is not sufficient and is encouraging/necessitating car usage, for those lucky enough to have a car.

Eilís Ní Dhúill (Oughterard, 2023-09-26)

#195

There isn’t enough buses, and there’s been a huge demand for years. It’s ridiculous, more buses needed now!!

Rosalind du Bois (Galway, 2023-09-27)

I'd love to use public transport but with the current schedule it is impossible
