Bus Éireann is celebrating the 70th anniversary of Busáras, Ireland’s central bus and coach station on October 26th.
The birthday celebration for the headquarters of Bus Éireann, like a standup punchline, is late, seven days late to be exact.
The iconic Busáras opened on October 19th, 1953. The station was designed by the renowned Irish architect Michael Scott and received the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) Gold Medal in 1955. Busáras is known for being one of the earliest examples in Dublin of a modern building that successfully combines architecture and art. It continues to provide its services to over a million passengers every year.
