NTA Chief Executive Officer Anne Graham said: "When analysing public transport in the north Kildare/west Dublin area, we came to the conclusion that there was a demand for a bus service that would link significant population and activity centres such as Naas, Maynooth and Blanchardstown."
"Thanks to the 139, moving along this corridor between these centres will now be easier than ever."
She added: "We also believe that the 139 will prove to be of great benefit to people all along the route whether they want to take a short journey or a long one, and with Leap fares starting at €2.10, it is a great value offering."
