Dublin Buses

Dublin Buses was formed back in February 1987 when services were split out of the Coras Iompair Eireann (CIE) and has, in time, become a modern and forward-thinking bus operator. During July 2018, plans were revealed for a complete overhaul of Dublin's bus services. The changes planned by the National Transport Authority led to a renumbering of key routes and changes and improvements to frequencies. As a result Dublin Buses has lost some of its depots and route to the Go Ahead group, who have established their own livery and created some new routes. In a tour of the fascinating and colourful city, Richard Walter illustrates the transformation of Dublin Buses in the twenty-first century, with photographs taken before and after the changes showing the variety of buses used. Also included are some of the interesting open- and closed-top vehicles that have provided tours ranging from sightseeing to afternoon teas and ghostly goings on.
