Flit A flit boat took passengers to or from a ferry which was too big for the pier. So our flit bus takes you between Ledaig and parts of Tobermory which big buses can't reach. It goes round Rockfield Road, along Breadalbane St, round Western Road, back along Breadalbane St and down the Eas.

clinic Clinics at the hospital run Monday to Friday and we've timed buses out and back to suit. To use the North Mull clinic buses please request or change your hospital appointment to be in and out between 1020 and 1250/1450, although other buses are also suitable.

School, flit, and clinic buses are open to everyone for any purpose or destination. Get on or off at any stop.
