12 ore per fare questo percorso utilizzando i servizi di autobus rurali sono uno scherzo. Abbiamo davvero bisogno di più autobus nelle zone rurali, che non bastano per raggiungere un hub centrale più grande in una parte più centrale dell’Irlanda. Sarebbe un pio desiderio che il Donegal possa mai riprendere i suoi treni. lol mi chiedevo solo quale sarebbe l’opinione degli altri sui viaggi rurali?
So che ci sono molti autobus privati che effettuano queste tratte, ma per un turista senza conoscenza della zona può essere molto difficile da trovare. Questo è fondamentalmente ciò che il collegamento locale dovrebbe coprire e fa un lavoro abbastanza buono, ma è ancora scarso nelle sue opzioni nel culo del Donegal, dove risiedo.

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 4hours 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.
