==Transport== [[File:Inishmore.jpg|thumb|Road in Inishmore]] Year-round ferry passenger services exist. Aran Island Ferries<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aranislandferries.com |title=Aran Island Ferries |publisher=aranislandferries.com}}</ref> operate a year-round service from [[Rossaveal]] in County Galway, connected by a bus service from [[Galway|Galway city]]. A heavy-cargo service operates several times a week from [[Galway Harbour]], and is operated by Lasta Mara.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lastamarateo.com/index4.html |title=Home |publisher=lastamarateo.com}}</ref> [[Aer Arann Islands]] operates an air service from [[Inverin]] to [[Inishmore Airport]], which has a connecting bus from Galway city. The airline announced that it would cease all flights in December 2018,<ref>{{cite news |last=Siggins |first=Lorna |date=6 June 2018 |title=Aer Arann to quit contract for Aran Islands two years ahead of time |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/aer-arann-to-quit-contract-for-aran-islands-two-years-ahead-of-time-1.3521219 |newspaper=The Irish Times |access-date=2 September 2018}}</ref> but an agreement was reached to continue the service until 30 September 2019.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rte.ie/news/2018/1220/1018395-aer-arann/ |title=Agreement reached in Aer Arann dispute|date=20 December 2018 |access-date=12 March 2020 |publisher=RTΓ News}}</ref> Ferries are also available to the Aran Islands from [[Doolin]] in [[County Clare]] (seasonal 1 April β 31 October). A road network exists on each of the islands, and a speed limit of {{convert|50|km/h|abbr=on}} applies. Cars on the islands are exempt from road-worthiness testing. Most visitors to the island hire bikes and an increasing number hire ebikes,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ebikearanislands.com |title=ebikes |publisher=ebikearanislands.com}}</ref> as they are the most convenient way to see the islands.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.inishmorebikehire.ie |title=Inis Mor Bike Hire |publisher=www.inishmorebikehire.ie|access-date=12 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160520223752/http://www.inishmorebikehire.ie/ |archive-date=May 20, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>
