12hr to do this route by using the rural bus services is a joke. We really need more buses in rural areas, that doesnt reply on going to a bigger central hub on a more central part of Ireland. Would be wishful thinking that donegal would ever get its trains back. lol just wondering what everyone else’s opinion on rural travel would be?
I know there is a lot of private buses doing these routes but as a tourist without local knowledge this can be very hard to find. This is basically what the local link is meant to be covering and it does a good enough job, but it’s still sparse on its options in the back arse of donegal, where Im based.

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 us the easy bit. Getting Muff to Cum us the hard part
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.)
