Encyclopedia : P : PU : PUB : Public Transport Operators in Dublin
A large number of companies operate public transport services in Dublin.
Rail
- Iarnród Éireann, a subsidiary of state-owned Córas Iompair Éireann, operates all rail services in Dublin including the DART.
Tram
- Dublin's Luas tram system is owned by the Railway Procurement Agency and operated by Veolia Transport Ireland (formerly known as Connex).
Bus
Bus services are operated by a number of separate companies which are licenced by the Department of Transport. As the Department does not provide a public information service and there is no overall city transport authority, it is difficult to obtain information about which company serves which area without local knowledge.
