When You Get Here
The main towns have regular bus services provided by Bus Éireann and Translink but if you choose to really get away from it all and holiday in one of the many beautiful but more rural locations in the Greenbox you will find that although there are not regular bus services in these areas they are serviced by local bus providers and taxies and also by the state sponsored Rural Lift service, this service provides a flexible community based transport system that meets the needs of the rural communities so for the visitor who wants to meet local people this is an ideal way to do so.
