Suirway wish to advise that they will cease operating public transport bus services after October 31st this year.
Suirway, based in Passage East, currently operate routes from Waterford city serving Dunmore East, Portlaw and Passage East.
They have operated these routes for many years under License from The Department of Transport and have given a dedicated service to the local community since 1899.
Brian Lynch, Managing Director of Suirway stated : “We have notified the National Transport Authority of our intentions and have requested local TD’s and Councillors to engage with the NTA to ensure State funded replacement services are put in place as soon as is possible.”
He also said that “he wishes to express regret for any inconvenience caused to the company’s customers and would like to thank all Suirway’s clients for their valued support over the last 123 years."
Following a prolonged period of extremely difficult trading since the onset of Covid-19, the company has experienced reduced passenger footfall. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible
for Suirway to operate these routes on a commercial basis.
Other contributory factors including national transport policy landscape, impending sustainability considerations and global events have led to the withdrawal of services.
