Expanded bus service between Waterford and Dublin Airport comes into effect
Bus passengers can now avail of a near-hourly connection between Waterford and Dublin
JJ Kavanagh’s expanded bus service between Waterford and Dublin Airport has come into effect from today.
The Kilkenny-based operator has expanded its Route 736 to increase the daily services from 14 to 17 trips in each direction.
This gives bus passengers a near-hourly connection between Waterford and Dublin, every day of the week.
In the Waterford to Dublin Airport direction, there is a new early departure at 01:12 from SETU Waterford.
Regular services are running throughout the day, with a late-night departure from SETU Waterford at 23:12.
This late-night service arrives in Dublin Airport at 02:00.
Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, there are new late-night departures from Dublin Airport at 23:45 and 01:00.
There are new early and daytime services at 03:00, 05:30, 06:30, 08:00 and more.
There are regular afternoon and evening services throughout the day, with the final arrival into SETU Waterford at 02:28.
All Route 736 services now start and finish at SETU on the Cork Road, meaning Tramore will no longer be served on the route.
All fares and ticket types remain unchanged.
Commenting on the changes, a JJ Kavanagh spokesperson said: “At JJ Kavanagh, we’re committed to connecting the communities we serve.
“This expansion reflects that commitment — giving Waterford passengers more options, more flexibility, and more reliability on one of our most important routes.”
The news comes following Expressway’s recent withdrawal of its Route 4 service, which travelled from Waterford city to Dublin Airport.
