Bus, rail, and Luas services all saw an increase in passenger numbers last year with almost 225m journeys taken on public transport.

Dublin Bus, which carries over half of all public transport passengers in Ireland, carried 119.5m passengers up by 2.8% from 2014, despite the ongoing Luas cross-city construction works in Dublin city centre.
