Before you travel
Assuming one ticket covers everything
Leap works on TFI services, not on private coaches. Check the operator on the route card before you rely on it.
Trusting the terminus time
The headline departure time is from the first stop. Your stop may be twenty minutes later — open the route page for times from where you actually board.
Where these numbers come from
Everything on this page is generated from the official GTFS timetable data published for Irish public transport, refreshed weekly. The journey counts reflect services scheduled to run today — not a yearly average — which is why they move from day to day. Operators set the times and can change them, so confirm before travelling.
Fares and tickets
Two ticketing systems overlap in Longford. Anything under the TFI umbrella accepts the Leap Card; independent coach companies do not. The operator is listed on every route card above.
- Leap Card — tap on as you board; the fare is deducted automatically.
- Cash — accepted on most services but at a higher fare, and exact change is often required.
- Coach tickets — book directly with the operator, usually cheaper online than at the desk.
Accessible travel
Most city buses serving Longford are low-floor with a ramp and a wheelchair space. Coaches and rural minibuses vary far more, so contact the operator ahead for those. Rail assistance should be booked in advance where possible.
Getting to the airport
Airport journeys from Longford are on this page — filter the list above by coach services to compare them. Book ahead where you can: the airport runs fill first and the walk-up fare is rarely the cheapest.
Early starts and late finishes
The earliest departure listed for Longford today is early morning and the latest is late evening. Outside that window there is no scheduled service, so late arrivals need a taxi.
Check the day type
Saturday and Sunday timetables are thinner than weekdays, and some routes do not run at all.
Work backwards
Pick the arrival you need first, then find the departure that gets you there with a margin.
Confirm the last bus
The final departure of the day is the one most often missed — check it before you commit to the trip.
Rural connections
6 TFI Local Link services reach Longford from the smaller towns and villages around it. These run a handful of times a day rather than hourly, and they are frequently the only public transport those places have.
Who runs the buses
4 operators serve Longford, and they do not share ticketing. Knowing which company runs your route matters because it decides whether a Leap Card works.
