    Hi,
    Is the main bus station in Cork, the IT or Parnell place?
    Or perhaps somewhere else.

    Cheers.

    Parnell place, it kinda sucks a bit though. depending on the route you come in by you might be able to hop off round the tech

    Isn't there only one bus station in Cork (Parnell Place)? Aren't the rest of them called bus stops?...?

    Yes it is. Walk along Patrick Street to the river, take a right and it's about 100m down that quay.
    Like most bus stations, it's not somewhere you want to spend a lot of time.

    From experience, I think all bus stations are the same. What is it about them that attracts loopies?

    I can understand why they hang around the station in Galway though...the homeless shelter is right next door.

    loopies have litle money > people with little money don't use cars > people who don't use cars use buses
