The National Transport Authority (NTA), in partnership with Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland, has launched the next phase of BusConnects Network Redesign in Dublin. Phase 6a saw the introduction of 13 new routes, including two 24-hour services the E1 and E2. Routes introduced in Phase 6a serve communities between Dublin Airport, north Dublin, the city centre, south Dublin, Dun Laoghaire and north Wicklow, providing greater service levels, new transport options and enhanced connectivity across this part of the TFI network. Overall bus service levels in these areas are to increase by over 7% as a result of these changes. Hugh Creegan, Interim CEO of the National Transport Authority said: “Today’s launch reflects our commitment to creating a more connected, accessible and reliable public transport system, ensuring our passengers have more choices and flexibility to their daily travel. Expanding our round- the- clock services and enhancing our connectivity is essential to support Ireland’s growing population with sustainable, efficient transport options.” Visit: https://lnkd.in/e2cCDdR7

About us
The NTA keeps Ireland moving. We’re a statutory, non-commercial, organisation reporting to the Department of Transport and responsible to the people of Ireland. Our job is to supervise the provision and regulation of public passenger land transport services, including state-subsidised bus and rail services through Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus, Go-Ahead Ireland and Irish Rail. We also provide Luas tram services in Dublin by contract, license commercial bus services and regulate the small public service vehicle sector (taxis, hackneys and limousines). On the national stage, the NTA manages the Rural Transport Programme and transport co-ordination units (TFI Local Link). We provide integrated / multi-modal ticketing (TFI Leap Card), journey planning information, real-time-passenger-information, mapping, and are improving integration of public transport fares. We prepare submissions on regional planning guidelines and on other significant planning proposals throughout Ireland, undertake strategic planning of transport investments in all public transport infrastructure and develop the effective management of traffic and transport demand. To keep you in the picture, we collect and publish statistics and information on transport and enforce EU passenger rights in rail, maritime and bus and coach transport. The NTA also undertakes a number of functions on a non-statutory basis, including planning and funding sustainable transport projects in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford, administering the Smarter Travel Workplaces programme, managing the Green Schools Travel programme and providing accessibility funding to transport operators and other relevant bodies. And that’s how we keep Ireland moving.
