Public Transport
Whether it’s a brisk walk to the train or a quiet moment on the bus, commuting can
be a powerful part of your routine. It’s not just about getting here — it’s about arriving
ready, refreshed, and connected.
You can use the TFI Journey Planner brought to you by Transport for Ireland to plan your door-to-door journey.
It provides plans for trains, buses, trams, ferry, and taxi services and combines them into easy-to-read journey plans.
The planner acts like a door to-door route planner and has information about scheduled departures and trips near your current location, and from any specified point. You can view the journey planner at Plan A Journey | Transport for Ireland or by downloading the TFI Journey Planner app.
A short video on how to use the app can be found via the below link.
