Concerns are being raised by a local Senator.
A new midlands bus route could be at risk, due to a shortage of drivers.
That's according to Junior Agriculture Minister, Pippa Hackett, who is urging anyone thinking of a career change to consider getting behind the wheel.
The 822 from Mountrath to Carlow is due to be operational in time for the new school year, and is expected to be beneficial for SETU students.
The Offaly Green Party Senator says we need more bus drivers:
