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.
Early starts and late finishes
The earliest departure listed for Mullingar 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.
