Public Transport Information:
- CityLink Dublin-Galway commuter services (not non-stop services)
- Bus Éireann Galway - Dublin route 20 and x20 (express) services
- Healy's commuter services to/from Galway
- Some rural-transport services
Most places in the town are within 10-15 minutes walk of the bus-stops. However at the east end of town the footpath only extends to the Cathercourt complex, so it is not really safe to walk to the IDA Business Park or East Point Business Centre.
There is no taxi-office, but there are several taxi companies based in the town.
See Regional Buses - East Galway for links to the bus companies.
Other places in the Loughrea area:
Slieve Aughty Centre is approx 10mi / 15km outside Loughrea, and is not served by buses: catch a local taxi from the villagte. Directions to the center.
