Drivers Advised That Bus Lanes Will Operate 'As Normal' During Strike

Drivers are being advised that bus lanes in Dublin will continue to operate as such during planned strike action on 01 and 02 May.

Gardaí and Dublin City Council have issued a statement to remind drivers that while the city's two main bus services will be on strike, bus lane use will operate "as normal" for taxis, cyclist, private bus companies and the Emergency Services.

Motorists have also been advised to allow extra time when planning their journey during the planned bus strike.
