From Monday the 23rd of June, TFI Local Link Kerry Route 280 will be enhanced from Waterville to Killarney via Killorglin.
This enhanced route is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan which is a major national public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) as part of the Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network.
Route 280 will now operate an additional morning and evening service to bring the total daily return services to 9 between Waterville and Killorglin with 4 return services extending to Killarney.
The enhanced route will continue to provide a peak-time service for commuters as well as connectivity to regional bus and rail services at Killarney station and connections to the wider TFI Public Transport Network.
The route from Waterville to Killarney will continue to offer connectivity to villages and areas such as Cahersiveen, Kells, Glenbeigh, Killorglin and Beaufort.
Speaking ahead of the launch TFI Local Link Kerry General Manager, Alan O’Connell said:
“We’re very pleased to enhance Route 280 in response to the growing demand from the local community. This route has proven to be extremely popular, and the additional services will ensure that we can continue to meet the needs of both residents and visitors. It’s great to see such strong support for public transport, and we’re committed to providing reliable, accessible, and sustainable travel options across the region.”
