The free travel scheme provides free travel on the main public and private transport services for those eligible under the scheme. These include road, rail and ferry services provided by companies such as Bus Átha Cliath, Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann, as well as Luas and services provided by over 80 private transport operators.

There were 10,652 persons in possession of a Free Travel pass in Longford and 20,920 in Westmeath at end May 2022.

I hope this clarifies the position.
