Tuam to benefit from extra Citylink Bus services

CITYLINK Ireland has announced that it has been granted approval to introduce three additional daily return services across its Galway–Ballina route.

The additional Galway-Ballina services follow the recent withdrawal of Expressway services on Route 52 and will help to maintain vital public transport connectivity for communities along this important corridor.

The announcement represents a significant boost for communities along key regional corridors, including Galway City, Tuam, Milltown, Ballindine, Claremorris, Balla, Castlebar, Ballyvary, Foxford, and Ballina.

The new timetables will come into effect on Sunday, May 24, with tickets available to book via the Irish Citylink website from Friday, May 22.

“We are pleased to be expanding our services across Galway and Mayo, strengthening connectivity and affordability for communities at a particularly important time,” stated Irish Citylink Regional General Manager Sarah Comer.

“These additional services reflect growing demand for bus travel, as passengers seek practical, flexible alternatives amid rising travel costs.

“Reliable public transport is essential for regional life. It connects people to work, education, healthcare, tourism, social opportunities and onward national and international transport links.

“This investment reaffirms Irish Citylink’s commitment to keeping communities connected and ensuring passengers have safe, dependable and convenient travel options across Galway and Mayo.
