Galway's Dark Bus Shelters

Galway’s bus shelters are mostly dark—78 out of 147 have no lights—leaving riders, especially women, feeling unsafe and opting for cars instead. Ironically, as the city pushes to reduce car dependence, new EU rules require each shelter to have its own power hookup, making upgrades costly and slow. With budget constraints, repairs are delayed, including a broken shelter on Kingston Road stuck in paperwork limbo for months. While Galway dreams of park-and-ride hubs, basic infrastructure like lit stops remains neglected—proof that even small things can be surprisingly hard to fix.
