TFI Anseo Pilot – Ireland first Smart DRT
In July 2025 Ireland’s first-ever Smart Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) was launched in County Mayo. This pilot initiative is part of the NTA’s Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan that aims to transform how rural communities access public transport by offering a flexible, app-based service tailored to local needs.
Using the TFI Anseo app, passengers will be able to book on-demand rides with ease bringing the convenience of modern rideshare together with the reliability and affordability of public transport.
The pilot area covers Achill Island and the Currane Peninsula and will run seven days a week, year-round, offering a vital transport link to residents in areas with limited transport options and increasing service frequency for greater convenience.
