Ibus plc submitted a proposal to the National Transport Authority outlining their vision to create a new passenger transport network in Ireland. They propose generating jobs, economic stimulus, and attracting EU funding by initially being granted route licenses from a new National Bus Terminus, including connections through the Cuchulann Tunnel. This would provide a cohesive private sector transport alternative requiring no state funding. Ibus recommends the authority act now to approve their proposal.
