Bus Services for Third Level Students


This page has information about bus services that are specifically for tertiary students, and staff of third-level educational facilities.


A number of Galway city bus services are mainly for university, IT (institute of technology) and other 3rd level students.  However if they operate as public services, they are listed on the City Bus Details page.

Services which run from other counties/towns either daily, or at weekends only for students who travel weekly are listed on the Regional Bus Services page, since they are open to the general public.   Many regional morning and evening services run to or from the  GMIT or NUIG campuses during term-time.
