Making a reservation on the Bus Eireann site

Posted by (Washington, DC) on

Has anyone had any issues with buying a ticket on the Bus Eireann site? I keep plugging in the date (it's in March) and it shows the date I choose, but then when I go to the next page to add passenger details it shows the date before. I also don't understand when I select a date and the schedule it shows times with a +1 which says it's for the next day.

Then if choose the day after I really want it - when I get to the passenger details page it shows the date I really want (the day before the one I choose). I just want to make sure my ticket will have the exact date I want.

Just wondering if there is a glitch or I'm not doing something right. Thanks.

What is the route? Is there only one coach per day? I do see that it's saving more than one ticket in the right-hand column as I test different dates, so you'd have to delete what you don't want.

It's Cork to Dingle (with a connection in Tralee). There are at least 4 times per day, but some list +1 (and it says the next day), and other times when I've selected the right date, the next shows on the pay page. Let me try deleting everything and try again. I may have to just email the company

Since seats are not guaranteed I'd just buy on boarding or at the ticket desk before boarding...

I agree that the site is acting weirdly for that route. I would not hesitate to buy locally, as Jim suggested.
