Irish Citylink is an Irish based subsidiary of Singaporean company ComfortDelGro, which provides bus services between some of Ireland's major cities and towns.
In 2010, Citylink contracted the running of its bus services to Callinan Coaches while remaining in control of sales and marketing of its routes.[1]
From midnight on the 30 March 2020 Citylink cancelled all its Irish bus services indefinitely as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Services resumed on 31 July 2020 with buses operating at reduced capacity in line with National Transport Authority guidelines.
In 2022, Citylink announced the acquisition of Galway based carrier GoBus, bringing their daily departures to over 100 direct, express, and multi-stop services.
As of January 2024, Citylink was operating on nine routes:[3]
In April 2010, Citylink were prosecuted for operating an unlicensed bus service between Dublin and Galway when, in addition to their licensed stopping bus service, they introduced a non-stop service between the two cities. While the District Court judge found that the case against the company had been proven to the required degree, she decided to apply the Probation Act.[5]
