Pilot Park-And-Ride Scheme Scrapped
A Galway park-and-ride service has been scrapped four months after it opened.
Covering the commuter belt around Galway, the pilot service, which received €220,000 funding, allowed motorists to park at the airport and bus into the city.
The service was developed by Galway Airport in an effort to secure its future, however it has now been scrapped after four months.
Originally due to run until November the service has stopped with immediate effect as fewer than 100 commuters were using the service each day.
It is understood that stopping the scheme early will save €32,000 in pledged funding from the National Transport Authority.
