Minister Dara Calleary today joined the National Transport Authority (NTA) to announce the launch of Ireland’s first-ever Smart Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) pilot, set to begin service in Achill on 15 July 2025. This pilot initiative, part of the NTA’s Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, aims to transform how rural communities access public transport by offering a flexible, app-based service tailored to local needs.
