The free travel scheme provides free travel on CIÉ, Luas and more than 80 private transport services for approximately 800,000 people, elderly, disabled and carers, at an annual cost of €77 million. It is my intention that private operators who may take over routes currently operated by CIÉ companies, will be able to apply to participate in the free travel scheme.
