Route 276 servicing Lios Póil, Annascaul, Inch, Ballyarkane, Boolteens, Castlemaine, Milltown, Listry, Faha and Fossa
TFI Local Link Kerry is enhancing bus services from Dingle/Daingean Uí Chúis to Killarney from Monday the 3rd of June.
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 276 will be extended from Castlemaine to Killarney. The enhanced service will operate three daily return services Monday to Sunday and will offer new peak-time and evening services. The route will enhance connectivity to villages and areas such as Lios Póil, Annascaul, Inch, Ballyarkane, Boolteens, Castlemaine, Milltown, Listry, Faha and Fossa and will provide improved connectivity to regional bus services to facilitate onward travel.
Speaking ahead of the launch, TFI Local Link General Manager, Alan O’Connell said: “In partnership with the NTA we are delighted to extend Route 276 to Killarney. Two iconic towns will be connected by regular public transport bus services which is a significant boost for local residents and tourists.
“This enhanced service will not only support tourism but will also boost the local economy by making the villages of Inch, Castlemaine, Milltown, Listry and Faha more accessible for residents, providing a convenient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way to travel with regular buses seven days a week.
“Passengers will have the added benefit of enjoying the stunning landscapes on offer in Inch without the stress of driving.
“Public transport is a vital step towards sustainable rural development, reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring improved connectivity for all residents.”
