Public transport usage increases for eighth consecutive quarter

Public Transport Million Trips (SA)

Public transport usage in Dublin continued to recover in the final quarter of 2022. A total of 57.8 million journeys (SA) were undertaken on the Capital's public transport system in Q4 - the eighth consecutive quarter in which usage rose. Growth of 4.4 million trips (8%) QoQ was primarily driven by an expansion of 2.5 million journeys (7.3%) on Dublin Bus. Each of the Luas (+800,000 journeys), Irish Rail (+600,000) and Bus Eireann (+400,000) also contributed positively. Total usage in the quarter was back to over 92% of the pre-pandemic peak of Q4 2019.
