The Transport for Ireland Network is serviced by many operators Nationwide including Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus, Go-Ahead Ireland, Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail, Luas and TFI Local Link among others. TFI Bikes are also part of the network, offering a more sustainable way to travel.
The popularity of public transport in Ireland continues to grow with over 308 million passenger journeys recorded in 2023 alone, a record high for TFI.
Expanding the TFI Network
TFI have increased connectivity to educational, employment and healthcare facilities as well as improved access to the TFI Bus and Rail Network under the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan. The plan has enhanced the range of services available with over 100 new and improved bus services launched in towns and villages.
In Dublin, routes are now operating at higher frequencies with the roll out of the BusConnects Network Redesign. The TFI Network now has new routes and further enhancements to existing routes resulting in greater connectivity across the city. Phase 6a of the Network Redesign is the next phase, due to launch later in 2024.
New Sustainable Fleet
TFI has begun rolling out a fleet of accessible vehicles including fully electric buses and hybrid electric trains.
