That would be an excellent idea particularly if they could make it all payable in the one ticket. Another possibility would be to run something like Granard - Edgeworthstown - Athlone Station which enable a stack of other options but you would then need two buses.
Such a bus would be very attractive to commuters. In my case, I could probably park a bike in Carrickboy and save myself 400 euro per year in parking charges and possibly get away without running a second car. I would have no bother paying at least 500 quid a year for this service - which would be 1000 if in the taxsaver scheme.
It would probably need to be a minibus though which is something that Bus Eireann aren't terribly good at running. But there is an existing North Longford community transport scheme that could possibly run that.
