Stop Details
HCathedral bus stop
Used by many of the services for 3rd level students, and some regional commuter services.

The stop may not currently have a bus stop sign, but is painted on the road. To get to it, cross the Salmon Weir bridge, and turn left.  Check the waiting buses, as they may leave from either side of the road.
Regional buses do not leave from the stop (which has a sign) that you would reach by turning right.
C The "private" bus stop at the north side of Eyre Square:  it is used by some regional commuter services, and also the City Direct city services.  Labelled Stad Bus  - this is just the Irish translation of bus-stop.
S Galway Coach Station (Aras Cóistí):  Officially called Sean Duggan Coach Station. Used by most private buses operating to/from Galway.  Is is also the departure point for most day-tours.
B Burkes Bus Stop:   At the south-east corner of Eyre Square, just beside the number 9 Galway city bus stop.
R Ceannt Station / Galway Railway station:  This is the arrival and departure point for all Bus Éireann's national and regional services, and the route 410 city service to Oranmore (previously called the Oranmore Shuttle).

It is actually in Station Road (Google's map isn't in quite the right place)
