The Expressway services are run on a fully commercial basis by the company and do not receive financial support from the exchequer. Last year The Irish Times reported the State-owned transport company was undertaking a review of the viability of Expressway routes it operated. Bus Eireann has previously discontinued Expressway services, with routes between Dublin and Cork, Galway and Limerick cut in September 2020, arguing these routes were loss-making.
