Highland Council launches additional bus service between Inverness city centre and Dores on Loch Ness to meet increasing demand on route
A new bus service run by Highland Council will boost connections between Inverness city centre with a local beauty spot.
This week, the Council’s in-house bus service has launched an additional service to transport passengers from the city centre to Dores to meet increasing demand on the route.
The new 302A service will run Monday to Friday, along the existing full 302 service which allows passengers to travel beyond Dores to Foyers where they can enjoy the Falls of Foyers and stroll along the hillside path beside Loch Ness.
Chair of the Economy and Infrastructure Committee, Councillor Ken Gowans said: “Due to an unprecedented number of visitors who want to go and see Loch Ness we have created this additional run during the summer season.
“This gives the visitors time to spend walking and admiring the lovely shores of Loch Ness trying to find that elusive monster.
“For our regular customers who live along that beautiful shoreline we now offer the great value 10 journey ticket which gives substantial savings on our single journey ticket price.”
Although the launch date for the service is not known yet, it is expected to be available soon.
