====Bus====
Dublin is served by a network of nearly 200 bus routes which cover the city and suburbs. The majority of these are provided by [[Dublin Bus]], with a modest number having been transferred to Go Ahead Ireland since 2018. A number of smaller companies also operate. Fares are generally calculated on a stage system based on distance travelled. There are several different levels of fares, which apply on most services. A "Real Time Passenger Information" system was introduced at Dublin Bus bus stops in 2012 in which signs relay display the projected time of the next buses' arrival based on its GPS position. The [[National Transport Authority (Ireland)|National Transport Authority]] is responsible for integration of bus and rail services in Dublin and has been involved in introducing a pre-paid smart card, called a [[TFI Leap Card]], which can be used on all of Dublin's public transport services.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ticketing|url=https://www.nationaltransport.ie/transport-technology/transport-technology-ticketing/|access-date=1 February 2022|website=National Transport|language=en-US|archive-date=1 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220201161136/https://www.nationaltransport.ie/transport-technology/transport-technology-ticketing/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The [[BusConnects]] programme includes a number of proposed improvements to Dublin's bus network, including new spine and orbital routes. The spine routes are intended to increase the frequency of buses along major corridors, and the orbital routes aim to "provide connections between suburbs and town centres, without having to travel into the City Centre".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dublin Network Redesign |url=https://busconnects.ie/cities/dublin/new-dublin-area-bus-network |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=Busconnects |language=en-US}}</ref> In 2022, Dublin Bus began the process of electrifying its fleet with new [[Battery electric bus|battery-powered buses]], with plans for 85% of Dublin buses to be zero-emission by 2032.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dublin Bus - Transport Minister, NTA and Dublin Bus unveil electric bus charging infrastructure |url=https://www.dublinbus.ie/news/transport-minister,-nta-and-dublin-bus-unveil-electric-bus-charging-infrastructure |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=Dublin Bus |language=en |archive-date=7 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231207180230/https://www.dublinbus.ie/news/transport-minister,-nta-and-dublin-bus-unveil-electric-bus-charging-infrastructure |url-status=dead }}</ref>
