49 bus route becoming obsolete

i remember a few weeks back watching something on tiktok of a local TD in Tallaght talking about the 49 bus stopping and being replaced by another bus, i didn't think much of it as i was inebriated at the time but anyway, one of my friends mentioned it to me yesterday "have ya heard their getting rid of the 49"

cant find much info about it online, anyone any info on this?

Can we agree that it's at least technically correct that the 49 will be discontinued? Replaced, yes, but discontinued all the same...

Technically but also disingenuously correct.

Why disingenuously? #Thinking 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Disingenuously because they are not properly informing their constituents of the replacement bus service and showcasing how it is mostly comparable to the existing service.

It's just like all those in Glasnevin who were campaigning to "save the 11" even though it was getting a direct replacement.
