The answer is no. As of October 2024, public transport operators prohibit the carriage of e-scooters for safety reasons to help prevent the risk of combustion on board buses and trains.
We accept the carriage of folding bicycles (including e-bikes and electrically assisted bicycles of normal bicycle proportions) free of charge subject to accommodation being available.
Luggage space may vary by vehicle type and the carriage of bicycles may not always therefore be guaranteed.
The carriage of non-folding bicycles is not permitted on low-floor vehicles operating on our services.
Guide dogs and Assistance dogs accompanying passengers are permitted to travel on all Local Link services free of charge and without restriction.
All guide-dog owners carry identification cards and the dog will have a tag on its lead which will read “Irish Guide Dog for the Blind”.
Assistance dogs are used by some people with different types of disabilities, such as autism, deafness or balance problems (Stability Dogs). An assistance dog will always be wearing a blue coat marked “Assistance Dog”. A parent or guardian who is accompanying a child with an assistance dog will also be carrying an identity card for the dog.
Therapy Dogs – When a member from Irish Therapy Dogs visits a Care Facility or Hospital they wear their uniform at all times (gold sweater with logo and black trousers). The dog also has a yellow coat, collar and lead to show that he too is a member.
Apart from the foregoing exceptions, dogs, cats or any other animals or live fowl of any description WILL NOT be carried.
