Chamber groups representing towns across Ireland said they want a State-backed town urban bus service to provide transport to ensure rural areas remain attractive places to live and work.

In a submission to the Department of Transport, the chambers are asking that the National Transport Agency be resourced to ensure an urban public transport system is developed across the larger key towns with populations of more than 10,000.
