Speaking to The Journal about the new route, Green Party Councillor Michael Pidgeon said:
“It’s been a bugbear of mine for a long time that you weren’t able to access the park by public transport. You could get to the edges, but you couldn’t get into the middle to Dublin Zoo or to the Visitor Centre or the Áras.
“It was just totally the wrong signal to be sending around a park- that if you can, you can cycle or walk, but if you can’t, the car is the only option. That’s not right. There should be a park for everyone.”
Once the works are complete, the new 99 bus route will be launched by Dublin Bus later this Autumn, servicing the park from 9am til 6:30pm each day.
