About the rural transport programme

Local Transport Co-ordination Units (TCUs) coordinate bus services for people living in remote areas, and to integrate them with wider public transport services.   These units all operate under the Local Link banner - although in some places they have separate brands.

Information about these, and the overall local transport timetable and services is available from the Galway LocalLink website.
Contact details for the Galway transport co-ordination unit is on this page.
