As the Deputy has indicated, the 70 bus route will be replaced by other bus services as part of the implementation of BusConnects Dublin. These new services will include the L64, which will provide a frequent service between Dunboyne, Clonee, and Blanchardstown, and the P64 which will provide a direct bus service to Dublin City Centre for commuters.
Since the start of BusConnects, a core objective has been to provide a network of more frequent bus services with reduced wait times for all passengers. This sometimes requires transfer between frequent services. Opportunities will exist for transfers to very frequent bus services on the B spine to and from Dublin City Centre. Connections with Dunboyne rail station, for rail services to and from Dublin city centre, will also be available.
I would also like to highlight the benefits of these new services in the Littlepace area, including introducing significantly better all-day frequencies, not just during peak commuting hours, and better network connectivity options with the 90-minute Leap fare.
