Lazy incompetent drivers, with obviously no accountability for their actions.
They just skip stops without proper notice, I be took a return journey. My stop for skipped on the way out and o had to wait 3.5 hours for the next one, and on the way back they skipped Busarus and went straight to Dublin Airport.

I am writing this with deep frustration and sadness after experiencing what I strongly believe was discriminatory and unprofessional behavior from one of Expressway’s drivers on April 13, 2025.I arrived at the Letterkenny bus station at around 7:06 PM to catch the Expressway 64 bus to Sligo, which was scheduled to depart at 7:12 PM. There were two buses parked at the station, and I mistakenly boarded the wrong one, a bus heading to Derry because the driver was not present to offer assistance or direction.At 7:09 PM, I realized my mistake and got off to head to the correct bus. As I approached, the driver of the Sligo-bound bus shut the door in my face. Despite it still being before the departure time and the bus still parked in the station, the driver looked directly at me, nodded, pointed at me, and wagged his finger in a dismissive way before reversing and driving off.

This left me stranded, heartbroken, and forced to pay for an expensive taxi just to get home to my children. This experience was humiliating, especially considering that I had arrived on time and was clearly trying to board the correct bus. What’s even more disturbing is that this is not an isolated incident. A close friend of mine experienced the same treatment while trying to board an Expressway bus to Galway she had a pre booked ticket, was waiting at the correct stop, and the bus driver drove past without stopping. It’s hard not to see a pattern when such disregard is shown repeatedly, particularly toward passengers of color.

Meanwhile, I’ve personally witnessed drivers stopping in the middle of the road to pick up white passengers even outside of designated stops. Why is that courtesy not extended to all passengers?

I’m incredibly disappointed in the lack of professionalism and humanity shown by this driver and deeply concerned by what feels like racial bias. Expressway needs to hold its drivers accountable and ensure all passengers are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect regardless of their background.

I sincerely hope this message reaches someone who cares enough to take action. This is not just about a missed bus it’s about being seen, heard, and treated equally.

Shannon to Galway route 51, two smashed up seats at the front of the bus, litter everywhere. Told to get off the bus in Ennis to get on a different bus, no explanation given. Second bus even more filthy, empty bottles of vodka, biscuits boxes, etc. Another smashed up seat on this bus as well?? Avoid if at all possible..

The most unreliable bus service in Ireland

Shocking!!!! Even tho we had tickets bought, bus never stopped at the bus stop. He just simply took on ppl in diff stop and didnt bother to stop for ppl who purchased tickets online. Left us in Galway, it was last bus, had to stay in a hotel. Trip from Claremorris to Galway worked out st 200euros. Do not trust this service!!!!

Not reliable.
50 min waiting at the airport for the bus to never show.

You can only buy a return ticket in the station with a card. You can buy a one way ticket from the bus driver with cash which adds 50% to the cost. Use another bus company

The information they provide when you buy the ticket about which bus stop you need to go is incorrect, as a result you will miss the bus. I strongly suggest choosing another company.
