Bus Stop set for Carton Wood in Maynooth says Kildare TD

By Kim O'Leary

Local Fianna Fail TD, Frank O’Rourke, has been informed by Kildare County Council and Dublin Bus that a Bus Stop is going to be provided at Carton Wood and Grove in Maynooth on the Dublin Road.

“A Bus Stop will be provided at Carton Wood on the Dublin Road in Maynooth in the coming weeks. It is important that we improve the public transport services for North Kildare commuters.There is little point in trying to encourage people to use public transport if the level of service is not adequate to cater for the increased demand. The solution is clear, increased frequency and capacity," said Deputy O'Rourke.

“We have seen improvements in the service of Route 115 for Kilcock commuters, Orbital Bus Route 139 linking Naas to Blanchardstown, via Clane, Rathcoffey, Maynooth and Leixlip, is attracting more commuters and we have Bus connect proposals which have some positive elements for bus commuters, including an orbital route linking Maynooth to Tallaght via Celbridge and Newcastle.”

“I will continue to press for better public transport,"concluded Deputy O’Rourke.
