TFI Local Link Kerry has recently launched a new bus route, which will improve connectivity between Waterville and Killarney.

This new 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 operate seven daily return services Monday to Sunday between Waterville and Killorglin, which includes three daily return trips between Waterville and Killarney. The new route will provide a peak-time service for commuters as well as improved connectivity to rail services in Killarney and regional bus services in Killorglin.

The route from Waterville to Killarney will offer enhanced connectivity to villages and areas such as Cahersiveen, Kells, Glenbeigh, Killorglin and Beaufort.

The new timetable has been designed to allow passengers to travel from Waterville, Cahersiveen and Glenbeigh and to arrive into Killorglin by 8am facilitating transfer to Route 279 for onward travel to Tralee or Killarney. There will also be a bus from Killarney arriving in Killorglin before 9am with timed connections in Waterville with the recently launched Route 281 from Waterville to Kenmare.

This new service will provide new opportunities for communities across the Iveragh Peninsula and will enable greater connectivity for employment, recreation, education and health purposes.
