Phase 5a of the BusConnects Network Redesign involves the introduction of new W Orbital routes W4 and W6. Operated by Go-Ahead Ireland, these new buses provide access to routes across Dublin and Kildare.
With essential infrastructure upgrades now implemented, existing routes W61 and W62 will merge to create a unified W6 route from November 24th.
| W4 | The Square, Tallaght Grange Castle Business Park Liffey Valley Shopping Centre Blanchardstown Shopping Centre |
| W6 | Hazelhatch Station Celbridge Main St Maynooth Community College Saggart Greenogue Industrial Estate Citywest Road The Square, Tallaght |

W orbitals run, on average, every 30 minutes on weekdays and every 30-60 minutes on both Saturday and Sunday.
Please choose one of the below routes for timetable information.
The TFI 90 Minute Fare applies to most journeys in the Dublin area, along with some parts of East Kildare and North Wicklow. It allows you to transfer between Dublin City Bus (Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland Dublin city services), Luas, DART and commuter rail (zones 1 to 4 in the Short Hop Zone) for free during 90 minutes when using a TFI Leap Card. You must touch-on every time you board a service to demonstrate you hold a valid ticket for each journey. As long as you touch-on your last service within 90 minutes of the first touch-on, you will qualify for the TFI 90 Minute Fare.
| TFI Leap Fares | Adult | Young Adult / Student | Child |
| Short Fare | €1.50 | €0.75 | €0.65 |
| TFI 90 Minute Fare | €2.00 | €1.00 | €0.65 |
| TFI Cash Fare | Adult | Child |
| Short Fare | €2.00 | €0.90 |
| Long Fare | €2.60 | €0.90 |

The other routes that will make up the new BusConnects network will be rolling out on a phased basis over the next few years.
An Orbital is a name given to the type of route that provides connections between suburbs, without having to travel into the city centre. Some examples of Orbitals are routes N4 and N6.
