The National Transport Authority (NTA) is a statutory non-commercial body, which operates under the aegis of the Department of Transport. Established in 2009, the NTA is responsible for developing and implementing strategies to provide high quality, accessible, sustainable transport across Ireland.
Phase 5a launched on 25th June 2023 with the introduction of new W Orbital routes W4, W61 and W62, all will be operated by Go-Ahead Ireland. These 3 new buses provide access to routes across Dublin and Kildare and will run on average every 15-30 minutes on weekdays and every 30-60 minutes on Saturday and Sunday.
It is clear from figure 1.1 that Dublin Bus is the main carrier carrying almost 4 times the number of passenger journeys compared to Bus Éireann PSO services. While the numbers carried on the Rural Transport Programme are relatively small it is a vital service in rural areas for those who avail of it.
The TFI bus livery, which was designed by the NTA following public consultation is blue, white and green with a yellow front. However, current bus livery is transitioning to a green bus with a yellow front. The Transport for Ireland brand logo together with the operators' logo is present on the sides of all buses.
Bus Éireann operates City and Town bus services in Athlone, Balbriggan, Cork, Drogheda, Dundalk, Galway, Limerick, Navan, Sligo, and Waterford. Every year, over 20 million customers choose Bus Éireann to avoid the hassle and expense of driving through increasingly congested streets.
The TFI public transport network in Ireland includes Buses, DART, Luas and Rail. Using public transport for travelling to work, campus or for business-related travel has many benefits including reduced congestion, time efficiency, and cost savings.
