TFI Anseo
TFI Anseo is a demand-responsive transport pilot scheme introduced by Transport for Ireland Local Link in 2025. It is part of the National Transport Authority's Rural Mobility Plan and is funded by the Climate Action Fund.
As of late 2025, it was in trial on Achill Island, and in Killarney and north-east Limerick City. Each trial is 12 months long. More pilot areas are planned as the service, described as a "Smart DRT", expands.
Launch and operations
TFI Anseo launched initially on Achill Island in County Mayo on 15 July 2025, alongside the app. It later launched in Killarney, County Kerry on 11 August 2025 and north-east Limerick City on 13 October 2025.Rather than running on a fixed route, TFI Anseo buses operate as a hybrid between a share taxi and a rideshare service. Buses are called via the app. Children under the age of nine go free, and Ireland's free travel pass is accepted.
The service is operated by regional Local Link operators, which are independent Transport Coordination Units. TCUs running TFI Anseo services set their own bus fares. Killarney and Limerick currently use flat fares, while fares on Achill Island are distance-based due to the larger catchment area.
Within four months of operation, TFI reported that the service had moved 20,000 passengers in Killarney.
