Alternatively-fuelled buses to be trialled in Cork from tomorrowALTERNATIVELY-FUELLED buses are to be trialled on Cork's 207A bus route to determine whether they can be rolled out across the entire Bus Éireann network nationwide. Drivers will mimic the entire bus route, stopping at scheduled bus stops and, even, opening doors. The government plans to convert the country's entire bus fleet to low-emission vehicles, including electric buses, by 2030. The trial is part of the move towards greener public transport as outlined in the National Development Plan. The Plan includes provisions for electric buses and states that no diesel-only buses will be purchased from July 2019.
