Three new Dublin bus routes will be launched this month in a huge change to thousands of commuters.
The new services will kick off as part of the latest phase of the NTA BusConnects initiative. W4, W61, and W62 will be running from June 25 in connection with Phase 5A.
These services will focus on the west and southwest of Dublin along with nearby areas in Co Kildare. Buses on the W4 route will travel from The Square in Tallaght to Blanchardstown Shopping Centre via Grange Castle and Liffey Valley.
The W61 will run from Maynooth Community College and will go through Salesian College, Celbridge Main Street, and Willow Avenue before terminating at Hazelhatch Station in Co Kildare. Furthermore, the W62 bus will start at Newcastle and will run through Citywest Road and Brookfield Road, ending at The Square in Tallaght.
