to create an accessible countryside with a responsive transport network that meets the needs of the rural community (SPG-RNI 4). Rural areas are the least accessible parts of Northern Ireland and exhibit significant car dependency. In cases where there is limited access to both the car and public transport, rural dwellers may experience isolation. Improvements to the RSTN and the introduction of flexible and innovative public transport will help to meet the needs of the rural community.
