    Dublin Bus announces details of a new 50 cent City Centre Fare devised to make it more convenient for shoppers, visitors and workers in the area to travel around the city centre.

    The recent introduction (27th July) of the new College Green Bus Corridor, greatly improves traffic flow through the city centre and this newly introduced fare will help further to improve people’s mobility and access around the city. It will apply all day, 7 days a week on frequent* bus routes and already 500 people per day are using the new fare to get around the city.

    Commenting on the new initiative Clíodhna Ní Fhátharta, Media & Communications Manager, Dublin Bus, said “We want to make it as convenient as possible for the public to enjoy all that the city centre has to offer, and this special 50c City Centre Fare will go a long way to helping people get around their Capital City. Dublin city centre has 4,000 shops and 10 department stores, a myriad of museums and cultural centres – it really is a great place to spend a day in.”

    To determine the appropriate routes and stops on street, customers should look out for a City Centre Fare sign (see below & attached) on bus stops and to avail of the new fare when onboard customers simply ask for the ‘City Centre Fare’. The frequent bus routes connect all areas in the city centre from Parnell Square, O’Connell St., the Quays and the IFSC to Merrion Square, Stephen’s Green, Sth Great Georges St and Parliament St.

    The most frequent participating bus routes are 4/4a, 7, 10/10a, 16/16a, 19/ 19a, 46a, 92, 128 and 151 which all operate on average every 10 minutes. The new fare essentially means that customers can make it across the city centre in 10 minutes for as little as 50c.

    Over the coming weeks Dublin Bus will have a team of ambassadors on the city’s streets providing information and guidance to customers on the new City Centre Fare.
