Local Link
Transport for Ireland Local Link is a rural and community transport service in Ireland that connects smaller towns, villages and rural areas with each other and with main public-transport hubs.
Key points
- What it is: a network of locally-operated bus and demand-response services (scheduled routes, door‑to‑door and “ring & ride” type services) aimed at improving rural mobility.
- Who runs it: services are delivered by local operators and community groups under contracts and funding from the National Transport Authority/Department of Transport and marketed under the Transport for Ireland (TFI) brand.
- Typical services: scheduled local bus routes, flexible on-demand pickups, feeder links to train/bus stations, and community transport for people with mobility needs.
- Booking and information: some scheduled routes operate like normal buses; many demand‑response services require advance booking (often 24 hours or more). Check the Local Link website (https://www.locallink.ie), the TFI website, or your local Local Link office for timetables and booking numbers.
- Fares and accessibility: fares are generally low and concessionary rates may be available; many vehicles are accessible but check individual service details before travel.
