The National Transport Authority (NTA) has today opened a public consultation on proposed service enhancements between Glendalough and Bray.
This consultation seeks feedback from the public on proposed enhancements designed to improve service levels in the area.
The consultation will run for four weeks and will close at 5pm on Friday, 7th of February.
The proposed upgrades between Glendalough and Bray focus on improving access to public transport for the local communities and visitors by providing more frequent services.
Under the proposals, the NTA aims to introduce a new seven-day week service between Glendalough and Bray, providing connections to Laragh, Annamoe, Roundwood and Kilmacanogue.
The proposed service will provide five return journeys a day from Monday to Friday, offering greater connections regional and DART rail services at Bray (Daly) Rail Station.
The new services will connect seamlessly with the TFI Go app, enabling convenient journey planning and cashless payments are available through the Leap Card Scheme. Free Travel Passes will also be valid on eligible routes.
Furthermore, the NTA is focused on introducing modern, accessible vehicles and enhancing bus stops to provide greater comfort and accessibility for all passengers.
Getting the community involved is key to shaping these changes, and the NTA is encouraging residents along the corridor to share their thoughts.

These proposed enhancements are part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, a national initiative aimed at strengthening rural public transport as part of the Transport for Ireland Network (TFI). The plan, which is developed and funded by the National Transport Authority, is aligned with the goals of Project Ireland 2040 and the Climate Action Plan. The NTA aims to begin implementing the proposed service enhancements by the end of 2025, subject to securing the necessary funding and resources.
