The government’s move to buy buses upfront saved millions, avoiding future price hikes, but now the real challenge is infrastructure: planning, approvals, and construction take too long. Hundreds of buses, electric and otherwise, have been parked up for years. The solution? A new national charging framework to streamline deployment. Fifty-six electric buses head to Dublin by year’s end, 42 to Galway by late 2026—proof that getting green transit moving requires more than just vehicles, it needs a coordinated, future-ready system.
