First phase of new Bus Connects Network to launch
The new network has been designed to improve the existing Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network. This means buses will be more frequent, there’ll be additional routes, and your bus number and timetable will change. The new network will be rolled out in phases over the coming years, starting with bus services in the North-East of Dublin.
The new H-Spine and Route 6 will replace existing routes 29a, 31, 31a, 31b and 32.
What are the benefits?
1. Increased capacity and frequency
2. Increased evening and weekend services
3. New sustainable, low emissions bus fleet
4. New bus stops and shelters
5. New park and ride facilities
6. 230 Km of priority bus lanes to make journeys faster and reliable
We would like to remind customers that the capacity constraint of 50% on buses is still in place. We would urge everybody to be considerate of other passengers, and respectful towards public transport workers.
And remember, while on public transport, wear a face-covering at all times.
The H-Spine
Phase 1 will see the new H-Spine launch on Sunday 27 June 2021.
This is made up of H1, H2, H3, H9 —all operated by Dublin Bus.

In addition, the new H9 service will operate in the am peak between St. Anne’s Park (Howth Road) and the City Centre
