Kerry Community Transport Ltd - "Your Community Bus"

Kerry Community Transport Ltd (KCT) provides community transport services throughout Kerry. Our services, which are community led are set up to link individuals living in rural communities with local services and facilities. All KCT services operate semi flexible routes to a timetable and can deviate up to 2 miles to collect customers at their own doors. Services are provided by local private bus operators.

Currently 52% of our services are provided by fully wheelchair accessible buses or have a passenger assistant on board.

All services cost €5 single or return and the Free Travel Pass is accepted on all routes. For specific information and to book a seat on a service in your area please ring lo-call 1890 528 528 Monday to Friday (9.00am to 5.30pm) or go to the timetables section of this site.

Kerry Community Transport is funded by the Department of Transport's Rural Transport Initiative as part of the National Development Plan 2007-2013.

The RTP was initiated as a response to the growing acknowledgement of the economic and social impacts of inadequate transport in rural areas and the increasing level of interest amongst community and local development groups in developing and implementing locally based solutions.
