An alternative transport option for West Cork

WEST Cork Connect was established as an alternative transport option that is more affordable and flexible than the nearest competitors.

passenger’s carbon footprint; allowing for cleaner air quality and healthier communities. Less cars also reduce noise pollution in our towns, villages and cities.

Being a small company allows West Cork Connect to go above and beyond with the personal touch and ensure each of their customers is made to feel welcome by the friendly staff and skilled drivers.

Although the pandemic resulted in delays and setbacks of proposed routes. West Cork Connect now offers 2 established routes. Initially established in February 2020, Route 230 Skibbereen to

Cork City and Route 229 from Bantry to Cork City which was launched in September 2021.

In 2023 they look forward to starting the 228 Kinsale to Cork City service. This is the first bus service from Ballinhassig to Cork City and Kinsale.

As a growing satellite town it will be an essential service for residents wishing to easily commute between Ballinhassig and Cork City or Kinsale.

The buses drop passengers off at Cork University Hospital for appointments, Western Road for college students, Grand Parade and South Mall for shoppers and
