In keeping with my policy that all bus and rail public transport operators should provide the highest possible degree of accessibility to the mobility and sensory impaired, all buses purchased by Bus Átha Cliath since the year 2000 are low floor wheelchair accessible buses. The company currently has some 450 low floor buses operating in Dublin. This represents almost 41% of the fleet and some 37 bus routes now have fully accessible services.
