Get around

The bus is the easiest and most extensive travel network. The fare you pay is based on the number of stages you travel. Most journeys within the City Centre are between 1-3 stages but drivers only accept coins for payment (no notes) Look for bus numbers on street signage.

Dublin Bus operates the Nitelink, which offers twelve routes every Friday and Saturday night. Our Nitelink service complements our 24-hour services (including Routes 15, 39a, 41, C1, C2, C5, C6, G1, G2 and the N4) which are in operation seven days a week across ten routes. Most other routes operate on a 6.30am – 11:30pm schedule.
