Before you start driving in Ireland it is important to:
Transport for Ireland (TFI) gives information on transport throughout the country.
Find out about Accessibility for people with mobility difficulties who wish to travel safely to, from and within Ireland. More information
The public transport network in Ireland includes buses, DART, Luas and trains.
A number of bus operators operate within the public transport network. For routes, maps, timetables, fares, bus operators, and more, please visit Transport for Ireland – Getting Around by Bus.
Regionally there are local private companies running bus services, often catering for quite rural areas.
There are both intercity services throughout the TFI public transport network and DART and Commuter Services. For more information on travelling by train, please visit Transport for Ireland – Travelling by Train.
Many train stations have cycle parking facilities available to commuters so you can cycle to and from the train station. To help plan your rail journey with your bicycle – with information on bicycle parking, on-rail facilities, and bicycle bookings – visit Irish Rail’s comprehensive Bicycle Information for Rail Travel.
In cities around Ireland you can easily hail a taxi on the street. In smaller towns and villages, however, taxis are not so common. You will need to get the phone number of a local provider if you wish to travel by taxi. Check Transport for Ireland for more.
TFI Driver Check App allows you to check that the taxi you are about to hire has been registered correctly and that the driver has the appropriate licence.
Dublin has a bus service from Dublin Bus, a tram service from Luas, and a city train service called DART.
There is a bike rental scheme run by Dublin Bikes running through the city centre. You will need a credit card to sign up. You can use a bicycle at any station and leave it at another station in the city.
