Is Dublin Bus legit?

Legit, mixed reviews

Yes, Dublin Bus is the real, publicly owned network behind most of the capital's buses, but late, full or missing buses are part of riding it. When a bus vanishes from the live times or sails past a crowded stop, the wait for the next one can wreck a commute or an appointment.

What we checked

  • Founded in 1987
  • Subsidiary of the CIÉ group
  • Head office on O'Connell Street
  • Ratings on other review websites: 1.5/5

Watch out for

  • Paying cash on board, where it is exact fare only and the driver cannot take notes or give change.
  • A €100 standard fare after a spot check, with 21 days to appeal or pay a reduced €50.
  • A cheap year of Leap card travel advertised on social media by pages copying the TFI brand.

How do I contact Dublin Bus?

Dublin Bus customer service is on 0818 294015, and comments can also be emailed to customercomment@dublinbus.ie. The contact page on the Dublin Bus website links to a web message service for enquiries and complaints, which suits anything you want answered in writing. Give the date and time, the route, the stop number and the direction of travel, plus your Leap card or ticket number, because that lets the journey be traced.

Put it through our complaint process as well, and we push your complaint out to Dublin Bus by email, social media and printed letters.

How do I get lost property back from Dublin Bus?

Dublin Bus lost property is reported through the Lost Property page on the Dublin Bus website, where you describe the item, the route and the time you travelled, and you can also call 0818 294015. Items found on buses go to the Dublin Bus lost property office, and you are contacted by email if a likely match turns up, with details of how to collect it.

Describe the item precisely (colour, brand, anything distinctive inside it) and give the route, the direction and roughly where you got off. Report it as soon as you can, because found items are only kept for a limited time.

What details should a Dublin Bus complaint include?

A Dublin Bus complaint should give the date and time of travel, the route, the stop number where you boarded or waited, the direction you were travelling in and, if you noticed it, the bus registration or fleet number. Those details let the complaint be matched to one bus and one journey, and your Leap card or ticket number helps trace it further.

Add what happened in plain order, what it cost you (a missed connection, a taxi, a late start at work) and what you want done about it. A screenshot of the real-time information for your stop at that moment is useful evidence when a bus did not show.

Can I complain to the National Transport Authority about Dublin Bus?

Yes. The National Transport Authority (NTA), through Transport for Ireland customer care, deals with complaints about the quality of customer service on public transport services in Ireland, including the Dublin Bus services it contracts. The NTA generally expects Dublin Bus to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every contact.
