A cross city bus service could become a possibility in the next three weeks.

City Direct, the company which operates the park n' ride facililty at NUIG and other services in Westside, has applied for a licence for the service from the National Transport Authority.

They have been granted a half hour service from Knocknacarra into the city centre.

This will come on stream when the Séamus Quirke road is complete.

The application for a cross city service is with the NTA and a decision is due in three weeks time.
