The cost of a car usually does not vary significantly for 1 - 5 people.

Unless you can find a good special offer it is often much cheaper to go as foot passengers and hire a car at the other side.

Can't think of any othera ATM, it is worth noting that depending on what offers you can get it can be just as cheap to go out on one route and return on a different route with a different operator.

Darttimes.com is designed to help those who need to know what time the next DART is due at their local station. Simply choose your station from the interactive map. Station information, such as if it has wheelchair access, vending machines etc, can also be found at the site. A WAP version of the site provides the next three trains due at your station of choice.

does anyone have information about rural/regional bus services? Everything from the irregular bus eireann routes to the private routes and the RTI (regional travel initiative) routes?

Is there any interest group or anything like that? Or a person, perhaps who knows how the whole thing works?

Try the Dept. of Transport. There are a few references here: http://www.transport.ie/press/pressr...g=ENG&loc=1345

A search for rural transport displays these (includes some county reports): http://www.transport.ie/search/searc...port&x=21&y=15

Do you have any particular area in mind?

[antoinolachtnai]

One interesting site is http://www.rural-transport.net/ . There is some detail about the ARTS project in conamara. Does anyone know the people down there?

There are also a number of what might be called 'bus fetish sites'.
