Antisocial Behaviour – Abuse, Violence, or Racism, Has No Place on Public Transport and Will Not Be Tolerated


Public transport is a vital part of daily life in Ireland, providing essential connectivity for communities across the country. Under the Transport for Ireland (TFI) umbrella, various services work together to ensure that everyone can travel safely and efficiently. TFI Local Link Galway is an integral part of this network, dedicated to providing accessible and reliable transport options to the local community.


TFI encompasses a wide range of transport services, including buses, trains, trams, and Local Link services. These services are designed to cater to the diverse needs of the population, ensuring that, where possible, everyone has access to safe and reliable public transport. The TFI network is continuously evolving, with improvements in infrastructure, technology, and customer service aimed at enhancing the travel experience for all passengers.
