From the 23rd of December, TFI Local Link Galway will introduce a new bus service between Galway and Loughrea.
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 439 will operate three evening services Monday to Sunday including public holidays. The route will offer connectivity to Galway Cathedral, Eyre Square, The G Hotel, ATU Galway City and Oranmore Centre as well as improved connectivity for the villages and areas of Oranmore, Derrydonnell Cross, Craughwell, Athenry Road and Loughrea.
Speaking ahead of the launch, TFI Local Link Galway General Manger Joe Greally said: “TFI Local Link Galway are delighted to deliver this vital connection between Galway City and Loughrea. Presently there is no evening/night connection to Loughrea from Galway City. This new service will deliver a vital public transport link for students, workers and the general travelling public. 3 connecting services will enhance the lives of those living along the route and deliver a viable option to the private car.”
