Pre-booking Local Link bus service to be piloted in rural areas

The pre-booking pilot scheme will run across counties Kerry, Mayo, and Limerick, and in the Killarney, Achill, and Rhebogue areas. 

People living in a selection of rural areas will be soon able to pre-book bus services to pick them up from their home or their local town, under a new pilot scheme due to be rolled out.

The scheme would allow individuals to use an app to book a Local Link bus service to pick them up, similar to the way taxi apps such as FreeNow work.
