Die Fahrt mit den Landbussen dauert 12 Stunden und ist ein Witz. Wir brauchen wirklich mehr Busse in ländlichen Gebieten, aber das bedeutet nicht, dass wir zu einem größeren zentralen Knotenpunkt in einem zentraleren Teil Irlands fahren. Es wäre ein Wunschdenken, dass Donegal jemals seine Züge zurückbekommen würde. lol, ich frage mich nur, was alle anderen über Landreisen denken würden?
Ich weiß, dass es viele Privatbusse auf diesen Strecken gibt, aber als Tourist ohne Ortskenntnisse kann es sehr schwer sein, diese zu finden. Das ist im Grunde das, was der lokale Link abdecken soll, und er leistet seine Arbeit ganz gut, aber seine Optionen im Hinterland von Donegal, wo ich ansässig bin, sind immer noch dürftig.

Normally takes me 3 mins to get from Muff to Cum.
You get there eventually 😉
That’s some effort that mate

No wonder the birth rate keeps dropping!
Cum into muff,
Hard to navigate that alright
Alright Mr Tantric, no need to brag.
Donegal? Isn’t that one of those barbaric places beyond the Pale that I’m gentrifying with my extensive real estate portfolio? You want us to invest in infrastructure there? I’m doing enough good by depriving the Irish-speaking natives of the opportunity to buy a home. They’ll be encouraged to move to civilisation (Dublin).
Be quicker to get the bus to Dublin then to Letterkenny and then out to Inishowen.
Reason for posting; Muff and Cum
Decades of FF and FG lack of investment and stripping of public transport.
Greens at least helped reduce train costs (no good in Donegal) and expanded local links services.
Semicock (in Ballymoney) to Muff takes me about an hour if I go via Ringsend.
Some stamina on ya kid
Getting Cum to Muff is the easy bit. Getting Muff to Cum is the hard part
Edit: spelling
It would be faster to bike at that point!
It’s even better when you zoom in on the field names and cum is right next to Lahardaun
If you live in the west of Ireland you need a car. End of. Could be electric. Doesn’t have to run in fossil fuels. But anyone who thinks the solution is more public transport options just doesn’t understand the lie of the land. The west has a tiny population scattered across a vast area. And unlike England, Spain or Italy, the people don’t live in towns or villages. The majority live in one-off housing miles outside the town. There is no public transport schedule on earth that could allow that few people access that many locations affordably. Next time someone tells you more public transport options are the solution, ask that person if they’ve ever lived and worked in the west of Ireland as an ADULT (not a child when the only place you need to go is the local school.)
Did you not stop off a Ringsend along the way?
I’m sure its a drive many of r/ireland have and will continue to make.

OP, you’re doing it wrong.
Here’s a way to do that route:
* 953 from Muff at 0708, arrive Letterkenny Bus Station 0743
* 64 from Letterkenny Bus Station at 0755, arrive Sligo Bus Station 0950
* 458 from Sligo Bus Station at 1005, arrive Ballina Bus Station 1128
* 454 from Ballina Bus Station at 1135, arrive Lahardane 1205
* Walk the remaining 1.2km, you slag
So, about five and a half hours in total. For rural public transport, not too bad compared to the driving duration.
I’m planning a trip from Dublin to inch beach, Kerry, tomorrow. It’ll take me 2h 15m* to mallow and another 3 and half from mallow to inch. That’s weekday, peak time, in one of the most frequented rural tourist areas in the country.
As a city boy, I agree that the public transport in rural areas needs to be heavily subsidised at tax payer expense.
*Edit: I wrote 4 hours, because I’m stupid and was trying to calculate the second part, as I typed the first.
The choice of placenames…
r/okbuddyeireann should be a thing.
Rural Ireland is great to travel provided you have a car and dont care when you arrive
Just live in a town or city. That’s r/Irelands solution. Why would you want to do anything in the countryside?
I really feel for the folk up in Donegal and Sligo and such. As a Dub I took the train out to Westport in September, just to walk around in nature and take in the scenery and was looking for a way to get up to Donegal and the routes were just dreadful. Fairly sure one of the recommended ones was to go back to Dublin and up through the north, which wasn’t an option at the time so ended up just having to leave it. Its shite like
Pick up a few cream pies 🥧 on the way
I don’t understand, are you cumming or muffin?
Wonder how many people just learned there’s Cum in Mayo?
I live 35 Km from Ennis. Only 3 buses a day go there. One at 7:30 AM is 1 1/2 hours. One is 4 1/2 hours and one is 12 1/2 hours.
