The Mayor of Galway has launched the Christmas Park n Ride at a ceremony in Eyre Square.
The service will run from the Galway Racecourse to the City Centre from this Friday until Christmas Eve.
Buses will run every 15 minutes in both directions Monday to Saturday from 9:30am to 9:15pm and on Sunday 11am to 7pm with buses running every half hour.
Fares are €1 per prson each-way, children and pensioners travel for free and all day parking is included in the fare

There had been calls to scrap the service as it lost the City Council more than €100,000 last year but Mayor Peter Keane says it's a support for businesses.
