Connecting Ireland milestone as busiest month of bus service launches recorded
19TH DECEMBER 2023
- NTA launches 20 new and enhanced bus routes nationwide this month
- 3 million annual additional kilometres added to the public transport network
Connecting Ireland Programme significant milestone
The Connecting Ireland Programme of new and enhanced bus routes, designed and implemented by the National Transport Authority (NTA), has reached a significant milestone.
This year over 60 new and enhanced Connecting Ireland bus services have been launched, strengthening existing services and connecting more towns and townlands across the state.
December – the largest number of services launched
The programme has been rolling out bus services over the past two years. But the largest number of services to launch, making it the busiest ever Connecting Ireland period, occurred during the month of December this year. Twenty new and enhanced bus services were implemented, connecting towns and villages in Counties Galway, Mayo, Waterford, Kerry, Sligo and Cavan.
These latest services have added an estimated 2.3 million kilometres annually to the Transport for Ireland (TFI) public transport network, giving many people an opportunity to travel, and giving others the choice to travel more sustainably and leave the car at home.
2.3 million kilometres added to TFI public transport network
The Galway to Clifden corridor, served by Route 923 operated by Citylink in partnership with Bus Éireann providing services on Route 419, will see a 33% increase in services for Clifden and a 31% increase in services for Oughterard with 12 services per day in each direction between Clifden and Galway and 17 services per day between Oughterard and Galway.
The number of services on Route 423 from Clifden to Westport have doubled from three daily returns to six daily returns Monday to Sunday, including public holidays.
Route 424 operating between Leitir Mealláin and Galway sees a significant enhancement to the frequency of services, with 19 return trips between Galway and An Cheathrú Rua.
Services on Route 425A from Galway to Mountbellew also doubled to four daily return services Monday to Friday.
Routes 360 and 360A in Tramore, Co. Waterford are now more frequent, also providing a more useful local bus service within the town of Tramore, and a more reliable and punctual service between Waterford City and Tramore. The enhanced Bus Éireann Route 360 will provide buses between Tramore and Waterford Bus Station every 20 minutes during the day – an increase of 141% on current services.
Route 272 operating from Tralee to Ballybunion in Co. Kerry is enhanced to five trips each day Monday to Friday, while Route 279 from Tralee to Killarney is extended to Killarney from Kilorglin, with a significant increase in frequency to 11 return trips Monday to Saturday.
The C2 and C3 routes in Co. Cavan, operated by Local Link Cavan/Monaghan, are also extended and offer additional evening and weekend services.
Route 322 from Portumna, Co. Galway to Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, operated by Local Link Tipperary, creates a new route with four return trips Monday to Saturday and three return trips on Sunday.
Commenting on the milestone, Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan, said: “Rural transport in Ireland is taking off. We can see that Connecting Ireland is already having a really positive impact on rural communities across Ireland. New towns are being connected every month and many more people now have the choice to travel by bus to work, appointments, college and to attend social and leisure activities. What I see is young people particularly using the services which is fantastic. It’s also proving to be a lifeline for older people who can now get into their local towns easier and more frequently.
“Improving rural transport continues to be one of my key priorities and it’s great that we are delivering on this, week after week. And people are responding with their feet. As we introduce more new services more people than ever are choosing to use public transport with numbers increasing by over 112% in recent years.
“Our public transport network is now more convenient, it’s more accessible and more frequent than it’s ever been and people are telling us that this is what they want.”
Anne Graham, CEO of the National Transport Authority said: “The NTA’s aim under the Connecting Ireland Programme is to identify rural areas which require additional bus services.
“This is the second year of a five year programme and already it has been a huge success. Passenger numbers show us that people want to use public transport and they immediately use services when implemented in their towns and villages around Ireland.”
In 2022, Connecting Ireland delivered 38 new and enhanced bus services nationwide, bringing new bus services to 67 additional towns. This year the programme surpassed those statistics.
The new and enhanced bus services could not have been delivered without the fantastic support of our 15 Local Link offices around the country and Bus Éireann.

Along with recent reductions in public transport fares and the expansion of the Young Adult Card for those up to the age of 25, we are hopeful that the route will provide an additional catalyst to allow people to adopt public transport usage as part of their daily lives in rural Kildare.
“The success of local bus services is dependent on usage and I’d encouraged local communities to spread the news about the positive enhancements added to our route 880 service.”

Details on the extended short hop zone is to be announced tomorrow to expand to towns in Kildare, Meath and Louth within 50km of Dublin City Centre. The NTA were supposed to announce the changes weeks ago but the publishment of the report has been delayed several times. There has been next to no speculation about the proposed fare changes that will likely increase prices for the current short-hop zone in order to reduce the fare discrepancies between the likes of Newbridge and Sallins etc.
Currently it's €16.90 return from Newbridge to Heuston but only €6 from Sallins on the same route, which has resulted in an additional car park in Sallins to accommodate all of the new people commuting from that point since the introduction of the SHZ.
Surely a better system would be to integrate the leap card across the network to encourage rail travel with ancillary and integrated ticketing on public transport instead of just expanding to a handful of towns?

I’ve been talking about this for over a decade. People keep talking about so many different ways to get people onto public transport- a fare system that is neither equitable nor makes any sense is probably the biggest barrier to public transport usage.
Thankfully they brought the 90 minute fare in on Dublin Bus, commuter rail and Lúas. The evidence is clear that this has had a huge effect in bringing more people onto public transport.
In the GDA, we have a very strange fare determination where it is determined by operator. If your area has Dublin bus, you will automatically benefit from a string of benefits. If your area doesn’t have Dublin bus, then you’re screwed.
During college living in Naas, I had to pay 3x/4x the amount of my peers (for a much much worse service by the way) who were commuting from equal or further distances just because they had Dublin bus in their area. It’s the same commuting to work. This is what inspired me to get a drivers licence and a car. It’s the same for most people in Naas.
I’m hoping this will finally lead to an equitable fare system that is actually based on distance. I hope it is well thought out and encapsulates the entire greater Dublin region because it is absolutely disgusting what some people are paying, like the fares from Newbridge.

The rural bus services are one of few good things the Greens have done. These need a bus and perhaps an ongoing subsidy, but not much capital investment. In the urban areas you can fiddle around with buses, but the big need to investment for more rail capacity and we have not seen much real progress on that. You also need things like park and rides, but the fundamentalists greens will not support these because part of the journey is by car.

Just as long as the suburban towns in the SHZ such as Celbridge, Leixlip, Naas and Maynooth don’t see any price increases in this new announcement that’s grand.

they're planning P&R on all main routes into Dublin - the first few will be on the N11 and they were out for consultation recently.
The lack of rail projects is largely down to planning delays; Metro and Dart+ are with ABP now.
