How the network is laid out

Almost every journey inside Newbridge touches the same handful of streets, which is why the network looks the way it does. The 2 city routes fan out from the centre rather than crossing it, so a trip between two suburbs usually means changing in town.

Early starts and late finishes

The earliest departure listed for Newbridge today is early morning and the latest is late evening. Outside that window there is no scheduled service, so late arrivals need a taxi.

1

Check the day type

Saturday and Sunday timetables are thinner than weekdays, and some routes do not run at all.

2

Work backwards

Pick the arrival you need first, then find the departure that gets you there with a margin.

3

Confirm the last bus

The final departure of the day is the one most often missed — check it before you commit to the trip.

Accessible travel

Where these numbers come from

Everything on this page is generated from the official GTFS timetable data published for Irish public transport, refreshed weekly. The journey counts reflect services scheduled to run today — not a yearly average — which is why they move from day to day. Operators set the times and can change them, so confirm before travelling.

Questions people ask

Can I take a bike on board?
Folding bikes are generally accepted. Full-size bikes are usually not carried on city buses; some coaches take them in the luggage hold if there is room.
Do buses run on Sundays?
Many do, but on a reduced timetable, and some routes do not run at all. Check the individual route page for the day you plan to travel.
What happens if I miss my connection?
On separate tickets you have no protection — you buy again. That is the main argument for leaving a margin when you plan a change.
Is there a night service?
Overnight services are rare outside Dublin. Check the last departure carefully if you are out late.
Where is the main bus station?
The city’s stands and coach station are the hub for most services listed here, and the rail station is usually a short walk away.
Do I need to book a seat?
On city buses no — turn up and pay or tap. On intercity coaches booking is advisable, especially at weekends and on airport runs, because those services do sell out.
