The new schedule begins as a pilot service and willbe re-assessed after two months. "Thursdays & Fridays are very popularbut we think the need is there for a much broader service," saysCommunity Bus PRO John Cunningham, announcing the scheme. The bus, with wheelchair facility, operates a door-to-door service forthose over 60 or anyone who is physically or non-physically incapacitat-ed. Passengers summon the bus simply by ringing either the driver's serv-ice number or Cumann na Daoine.

6 Operating within the three-mile townboundary, it is essentially a free service though a 2 donation per journeyis recommended and generally accepted. "But anyone declining or unableto contribute is still welcome," says Community Bus Treasurer LeslieGodfrey. Cumann na Daoine launched the service in 2009 as a hired bus under theauspices of hackney and bus operator John Long. A year later, St Mary'sSenior Citizens Group in Knockaheeny donated a bus to the group,enabling it to strive and thrive more independently. However "it costsover 7,000 to maintain the bus, exclusive of any extra costs such asemergency driver cover," says John. "We rely almost totally on fundrais-ing and donations and Youghal people have been brilliant to us, " he currently funds the Thursday & Friday drivers but volunteer driverswith appropriate qualifications, are always needed, particularly given thenew, extended hours.

7 Equally volunteers are sought for the crucial role of'driver companions' to assist passengers and the smooth running of theservice. Today the community bus has over 150 registered clients, many of whomwould reside in the upper reaches of Youghal 's hills and inclines. "Thevast majority use it for shopping but there are also visits to the family,doctor appointments, library service, swimming pool, beach, park, etc.,"Leslie reflects. 'Not a hackney alternative''One hackney operator recently criticised thebus's negative impact onthe hackney trade, partic-ularly in austere accepts that "someimpact was inevitable"but stresses that the serv-ice was "never intendedas a rival to anyone andwe don't want to engagein any dispute over it."She believes that mostusers would be in the lowincome bracket and usethe bus because it is eco-nomical.

8 Leslie's point is supportedby Community Bus Vice-chair Bree Browne, a sprightly, widowed pensioner with two kneereplacements. "I live at the top of Windmill Hill," she says, "My late hus-band used to drive us, but now I couldn't afford to come down town with-out the bus. It's a huge asset to pensioners. I'd still rather be 40 and usehackneys and any other suggestion is ridiculous," she adds. Leslie is reluctant to create ripples with any other service provider but shedoes feel that most bus passengers would previously have been reliant onfamily members for transport, shopping, etc. and so the loss to the hack-ney industry would be relatively small. She further accredits "the socialaspect" as a string inducement to bus passengers who simply might oth-erwise not leave their homes much at all. Addressing the issue of verification, which has also been questioned,Leslie says "a certain degree of trust is involved" when people completethe application form detailing their credentials.

9 "We issue membershipcards to our members, most of whom we would know anyway. We askthat the card be produced on boarding the bus and if here is doubt aboutsomeone and they don't have the card, they are not allowed on. We haverefused people to board." The new Community Bus timetable is as follows: Mon-Tuesday-Wednesday: ; Thursday: ; Friday: 10am-5pm;Saturday: 10am-2pm. Bookings/Calls on (024) 91900 (weekday workinghours) or 087-1759555. "When possible, we'd ask people to book a day ornight in advance," advises John Cunningham.
