bus coming through Bunbeg at 11:15 on its way to Dungloe. Local Link provides a great service to the people who live in rural Ireland. The bus, along with other bus services, are free with a travel pass. Once you reach 65 you qualify.

Nice that free ride over 65. Something that doesn't really exist in the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteUma bela perspetiva.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

Looks like half decent weather too!
ReplyDeleteYes the pensionados here have to pay for public transport as sc said.
ReplyDeleteThey treat seniors nice :-)
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I never rode on a bus other than a school bus when I was a kid? That was a 1 hour trip twice a day for 12 years. I was 'bussed' out! Have a wonderful day- I so love discovering your Ireland through your camera. Hugs to you and Shari. Diana
ReplyDeleteHere we have to pay for public transport even if we are over 65.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful header.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe buses for seniors are very convenient, we have them here too.
Take care, enjoy your day!
I like the color and perspective of photography.
ReplyDeleteIs a tourist over 65 eligible for the pass too, or is that strictly for residents?
ReplyDeleteWhen a bus broke down when I was travelling in Europe all the passengers got out to help push it to the side of the road. They did not allow me to push because I was a tourist and not eligible.
DeleteGod bless.
The travel pass is only for Irish citizens. Tourists can buy discounted tickets for the days they want to travel.
Delete...bus service here is limited.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you blogging again, Bill.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Hi Bill.
ReplyDeleteNice picture Bill.
Nice to see the shadow there on the right.
Greetings from Patricia.
Great to see how they reach out to those. Awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat service to seniors!
ReplyDeleteI like the bonus for those 65 and older.
ReplyDeleteWe have free bus service here in our community, as well as pre-arranged transports available to doctors and such appointments. Several people at the Lunch Site also were transported daily when I used to eat there. It's still going, but I stay away from eating indoors with other unmasked people these days!
ReplyDeleteOur state in India also offers free bus pass to people over 60 to travel locally.
ReplyDeleteBuses are cheaper here for seniors but certainly not free. It would be nice.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back, Bill.
The same in my country too, for 65+ age 🙏 and perfect photo :)
ReplyDeleteBus service here includes one or two days a week of free service for seniors.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this one. The road is a magnificent blue that offsets the dried brush beautifully. Nice one Bill.

ReplyDeleteCheers
Sadly, no public transport in my area. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteHow fine there is bus service to get around. That makes so much sense.
ReplyDeleteWoow very nice that free ride for over 65! Bye the way, Photo looks great
ReplyDeleteglad you are blogging back...
ReplyDeleteGreat shot
Hola Bill, esta muy bien que la zona rural tenga medios para moverse.
ReplyDeleteQue tengas un buen día.
SALUDOS
What a lovely shot of the bus coming down the hill!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectacular photo, Bill! And that colored asphalt! Bunbeg has beautiful roads.
ReplyDeleteGreat prospect. It's hard to guess where you were!
Have a good evening.

That's great that it's free for those over 65, we don't have that here.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great service. Here we get a reduced rate but not by much.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture!
ReplyDeleteUy genial parece un buen servicio. Ojala fuera lo mismo en mi país. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteGreat concept. I think we don´t have that here.
ReplyDeleteMany a retired person collects bottles to recycle to get some extra-cash, it´s sad.
I think using public transport is a bit cheaper, though, when you reach a certain age.
Very spring like photo!Wish you all the best Bill! :)))
ReplyDeleteWe don’t have free trips, not even for seniors. And as teleworking increases and more cars are used because of the corona, passengers will be reduced and there will be a need for price increases. And the circle is complete.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture of the bus coming
ReplyDeleteWe have the same free bus service to seniors here in Nashua, NH, but I have never used the service.
ReplyDeleteAdorei a imagem! E adorei saber que estão bem servidos de transportes, por aí!
ReplyDeleteAbraço
