Transport for Ireland (TFI) is the national public-transport brand and information service run by the National Transport Authority (NTA). It provides integrated information, ticketing and passenger services across the Republic of Ireland.
Key points:
  • TFI is a brand/coordination body, not an operator. It brings together services provided by operators such as Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann, Go-Ahead Ireland, Irish Rail and Luas.
  • Services and tools under the TFI umbrella include the Leap Card (contactless stored‑value ticketing), journey planners, real‑time departure information, network maps, signage and unified passenger information.
  • You can use TFI resources to plan journeys, check live departures, top up or manage Leap Cards, and find fares and route maps via the TFI website and apps.
  • The goal is seamless, easy-to-understand public transport information and ticketing across the Republic of Ireland.
For schedules, real‑time info and Leap Card services see transportforireland.ie or the TFI apps.
