Residents of Riverstown in Tramore continue their cry for help on the back of the National Transport Authority's decision to suspend all bus routes into the Tramore suburb.
WLR'S Kyle Butler revisited the area to speak to some of the locals, as the NTA'S decision still stands, weeks on from their decision.
One of the residents Kate says she will be lost without the service.
"If we lose our Riverstown bus, it will be devastating for us all who live down here, especially for us pensioners. I have sciatica, and my kids asked me once what are my three favorite things, I said my Family, Pets, and the Bus. I really love it and it's a great help to us down here."
Other residents gathered at the bus stop in Riverstown to demonstrate their frustration to WLR News. Local climate activist Niamh from Ardscoil na Mara says we will not reach our promise to become carbon neutral if the NTA'S decision goes ahead.
"I'm here today because I strongly believe taking out bus routes like this is not going to do anything good for the environment. I am a local climate activist, particularly centered around the voice of children and young people. Doing things like this is not going to help us reach net zero by 2050 which is our main target at the minute. It's is just going to lead to people using their own private cars which will not help the environment."
There have been calls for politicians to listen to the concerns of Riverstown, with regular bus user June calling for assistance from political figures.
"We have just been discussing amongst ourselves, there are no politicians helping us at all. From here up the town is a lot of hills. People here have crutches, and nobody is able to walk up there, especially on a wet day. As I said before, two bus stops and they are taking the bus off us. I don't understand why they are doing it, I really don't."
