BusConnects is included within the following Government policy strategies: the National Development Plan 2018 – 2027; Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2016 – 2035; and the Climate Action Plan 2019.

Dublin Area Bus Network Redesign: A review of the current bus service network to ensure that it can meet the increasing transport needs of the Dublin region.
Just the ticket: Developing a state-of-the-art ticketing system and making payment much more convenient.
Refreshing Bus Livery: Implementing a new bus branding to integrate bus vehicles of different operators and types, and providing a modern look and feel to the new bus system.
While you're waiting: Rolling out new bus stops with better signage and information and increasing the provision of additional bus shelters.
Cleaner technology: Transitioning to new bus fleet using low-emission vehicle technologies.
Leave the car: A network of park and ride facilities will be developed, located at key locations along the national road network.
