Transport

Does Ireland have go-anywhere rail / bus passes? We'd like to come for a month, and we'd rather not hire a car or have to buy a ticket every time we go out. 

Hi John,

It's good to hear that you're planning a month-long trip to Ireland.

There already exists on our Community a really wonderful thread that covers this topic in detail. It breaks down the various types of public transportation passes that are available in Ireland, including both within cities and for trips throughout the island as a whole.

I'd recommend that you check out this useful thread and, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Eoin

Hi John,

As Eoin said, the linked thread above has plenty of suggestions for public transportation passes.

If you don't feel like purchasing one in particular, I would still suggest getting a LEAP Card or an Ilink travel card (for Northern Ireland) during your stay. A LEAP card can be easily topped up through the LEAP top-up app and fares in cities are usually cheaper and more convenient to use (you just have to tap it when you board the bus or train)

I hope this helps - Please let us know about your itinerary so we can help you better.
