The Confederation of Passenger Coaches (CPT) in the UK offered some interesting facts on social media recently

March 17, 2021

12% of the UK adult population used a coach for a holiday, day trip or private hire in the 12 months before the Coronavirus 2020 Lockdown and 40% of these were over 55 years of age. Without coaches many might not have the opportunity to travel, stay connected and create new memories.
Every year, air pollution causes up to 36,000  deaths in the UK. More people choosing coach travel would contribute to improved air quality, but to play a part in the green recovery operators need support from Government.

If these figures are similar in Ireland, then the future looks good for the Bus & Coach sectors.
