A range of services is being provided by the buses currently licenced, for example, tours, school services and commuter services on a number of different routes within the greater Dublin area. The following table gives details of the routes in question.
There are also a number of occasional passenger licences held by private bus operators to provide services within the greater Dublin area. These are licences which allow the operator only to provide a service on one or more specified occasions.
