New Kilkenny city bus service could be running by end of 2017

It looks like Kilkenny will be getting a new bus service before the year is over.

Local Councillors were presented with the proposed new red and green routes at their monthly meeting on Friday last.

The Kilkenny city bus service has the backing of the National Transport Authority according to local Councillors.

The new service will have 2 routes that will inter-connect at the Market Yard – they will be available for everyone and will be used for school runs, park and ride facilities and will also be linked to the Train Station and St Luke’s Hospital.

KCLR news understands that anyone who holds a free travel pass will be able to use this new service free of charge.
