TFI Local Link Cavan Monaghan is introducing a new bus service between Cavan and Kells extending to Baile Ghib from the 21st of October.
This enhancement 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 186 will provide six daily return services to Kells, including three return trips from Monday to Thursday that extend to Baile Ghib. On Fridays and Saturdays, there will be eight daily return services, with four of those extending to Baile Ghib. Additionally, on Sundays and Public Holidays, the route will operate three daily return services, all of which extend to Baile Ghib.
The new route will improve connectivity to the towns and villages of Kells, Moynalty, Mullagh, Virginia, Ballyjamesduff and Cross Keys. It will also offer peak-time and evening services for passengers and connectivity to Cavan Town, Cavan Bus Station and regional bus services.
The new route connects Baile Ghib and Cross Keys to the public transport network for the first time and offers a new direct route from Ballyjamesduff and Mullagh to Cavan.
Speaking ahead of the launch, TFI Local Link Cavan Monaghan Manager Padraic Smyth said: “We are very aware that this particular route has been in demand for quite some time, and are delighted that the collaborative work between ourselves and the NTA has now resulted in this new service. We are looking forward to seeing the success of the service as it develops and hope that all of the communities along the route will benefit, as we believe that this type of connectivity will help sustain these areas ”.
