Galway Bay fm newsroom - There are calls for the introduction of a new bus route along the Ballymoneen Road in Knocknacarra
City Councillor Niall McNelis has written to the NTA asking the transport body to grant a licence to an operator who wants to provide a service for residents in the area.
He argues Knocknacarra continues to see exponential growth, with two new housing estates recently built and another planned for later this year - as well as the expansion of a number of schools in the city suburb.
Councillor McNelis has submitted a motion for next week's Council meeting calling on the Local Authority to also write to the NTA.
The Labour Councillor says more public transport is needed in the area.
