Bus Connects Local Push Amid Fare Hikes | Waterford News

Local authorities are being asked to take the lead on building 15-16 new bus stops under the NTA’s Bus Connects plan — a move that comes just as fares are set to rise 15% by 2027. With no direct government funding in Waterford, communities are stepping up, even as the NTA prepares a virtual presentation for late September or early October. This local initiative is being funded through the Local Democracy Scheme, spotlighting how grassroots efforts are driving public transport improvements despite broader financial constraints.
